Talk:RAF Chicksands

FLR-9 antenna
The FLR-9 antenna, fondly called Elephant Cages, were used for Direction finding but was not part of the Iron Horse system used in Viet Nam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Websluice (talk • contribs) 03:04, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Article Name
Hi @Blackshod, I note that you've undone my revert of your article move from RAF Chicksands to MOD Chicksands, but with no explanation as to why other than to say MOD Chicksands is the correct name. Whilst MOD Chicksands may be the correct name for the site now, this article is about the historic use of the site by the RAF, not the current use. So its not the correct name for the article. Joint Intelligence Training Group is the article which covers the post-RAF and current use. If a name change is required then it is that article that should be moved.

On the name change itself, can you provide a source to demonstrate that the name is MOD Chicksands? There seems to be several names in use -

- MOD Chicksands

- UK Strategic Command (UKSC) Chicksands

Its maybe the case that all these names are in use and used interchangeable.

Look forward to hearing from you. Thx811 (talk) 17:21, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
