Talk:RAF Mildenhall

Galaxy Club
In the trivia section, it says Prior to the the 9/11 bombings when the base was open to the public, RAF Mildenhall's Galaxy Club was considered to be one of Britain's top night clubs.

I can attest to that, as I was stationed at RAF Alconbury (about an hour drive away) and we would go to Mildenhall to club once or twice a month - bwmoll3

No you can't attest to that, as going to one nightclub doesn't make an RAF base club the best "nightclub" in the whole of the UK. Which it obviously isn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.1.73.23 (talk) 13:31, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

i was stationed at Mildenhall from 1966 to 1970- we had a fantastic nco club. Dusty Springfield played there as well as Jerry Dorsey (whom you may know as Ingelbert Humperdink)... women used to hitch hike from a 100 mile radius to get "signed" in to the club on weekend nights. Those were the days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.155.132.123 (talk) 03:02, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

USAF Use of RAF Mildenhall
I've put a citation needed tag on the following sentence, which I view as propagandist unless someone can document its truth: "In response to the threat by the Soviet Union, especially after the 1948 Berlin Blockade and the 1950 invasion of South Korea by Communist forces, it was decided to re-establish a strong American force in Europe". By rights I think I ought to have deleted the sentence outright, the section's just as informative without it. JohnHarris (talk) 22:43, 8 January 2015 (UTC)


 * In 1950 Britain wasn't 'in Europe'. It was entirely separate, and the word 'Europe' didn't include Britain at the time, that only happened with Britain's entry into the EEC in 1973.

Paul Meyer's Hercules found
BBC Radio 4's PM programme recently reported that the wreck of Paul Meyer's Hercules, in the English Channel, had been located and photographed, and that it did not look like it had crashed at high speed. But I am unable to find any published news on this. Did anyone else hear that piece? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:29, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
