Droxford railway station

 * ... that Droxford railway station served as Winston Churchill's base of operations during preparations for the Normandy Landings? Source: In this particular article, cited to Buttrey 2012 p.56 ("Winston Churchill was using this train as his base"), but can be verified from any biography of Churchill or history of the Normandy landings just by googling.
 * Reviewed: Norah Schuster
 * Comment: This is a whopper of an article with any number of potential hooks, but I'd consider the Churchill fact to be most interesting to general readers
