Talk:RAF Greenham Common

Nuclear accident?
I added the accuracy tag because the 'nuclear accident' information is presented as undisputed fact, which in fact is not the case; see, , . That this is not settled factual information should be included - I will attempt to address later, but don't have time right now. 134.244.168.222 14:05, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Peace camps
This article needs greater coverage of the peace camps. I'll try and add some myself later, if nobody else does. -- Joolz 00:50, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Information added regarding the use of RAF Welford, not widely know or acknowlaged.

I have been watching and reading with interest, i will repost the RAF Welford information and a link to an independant history of Welford which also claims the misslies "might" have been kept there. XR2TT

I agree on the article needing more on the peace camps, I'm going to give it it's own heading, because I think that camps are seperate from the current heading they are under. rakkar 07:09, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Expanded Article
The Peace camps are a part of the history of RAF Greenham Common and deserved a seperate section in the article.

When I expanded this article today, I insured that the peace camps had a sutiable presence in the article. Hopefully the additonal information I added gives this article a lot more depth and puts RAF Greenham Common in a proper historical light.

There was much more than just the 1980's cruise missles that happened here. The airfield was a vital part of the D-Day landings, Operation Market-Garden, and the early cold war years.

I hope you enjoy and Happy new year ! :) User:bwmoll3 03:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Runway parameters
I know there is no runway in place now, but is there not some way to show in the infobox what the parameters were of the former runway (and of course make clear that the runway was broken up)? Sangwine (talk) 20:44, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

WW2 bomb dump
There is an WW2 vintage bomb dump 1km from the east end of the cold war runway. This would not have been in line with the original 3 runways and must have been disused during the cold war, on take off or landing you do not want a nuke armed aircraft crashing into the bomb store.
