T101 radar is BAE Systems not Lockheed
Just reading entry on Boulmer and noticed error under 'Post Cold War'

The RAF Type 101 (T101) radar is a Commander AR327 3D air defence radar manufactured by BAE Systems - not Lockheed. This is common knowledge in UK air defence circles

So many references to support this - mostly from BAE Systems own website

No. 9 Battle Training School removed from article
I have removed the below sentence from the article due i am unable to find any other reference to the unit in both Lake (Flying units of the RAF, 1999) and Sturtivant (Royal Air Force flying training and support units, 1997) or any other trusted reliable source.

"In November 1943 RAF Boulmer became home to No 9 Battle Training School, in which night flying, dive-bombing, strafing, bouncer, and chase tactics were taught. As the war ended the airfield closed, reverting to agricultural use. "
