Ministry of Defence
I just spotted your change at RAF Cammeringham. I am not sure that the Ministry of Defence was ever the operator. The MoD didn't come into being until after the station was decommissioned. More likely it would have been the War Office or possibly the Air Ministry up to 1945, not sure which. 21st CENTURY  GREENSTUFF 23:16, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It is the Air Ministry, i must of thought of it said 1966 not 1946, i've changed it now, great spot by the way. Having fun with Peter Judge? :P Gavbadger (talk) 23:30, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah ... the second word is "... off". I don't think the old duffer is a well man and cannot help himself, but it is still a distraction I could do without nevertheless. I actually feel kinda sorry for him; he obviously has a major bee in the bonnet about something that really matters to him, but is totally incapable of describing it in any way that the rest of humanity can understand. 21st CENTURY  GREENSTUFF 23:43, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Well according to the link you added on the admin noticeboard he is 70+ and yeah i do agree with you it is quite sad, i knew you would get some kind of "response" after i saw the memorial's talk page a few days ago and knew personally not to get involved, i can't see what point he is trying to make though. Gavbadger (talk) 23:54, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Judging by this 2005 court case report he is now 76 years old and has a history of taking legal action against local authorities for making any changes to monuments and public spaces gifted to the nation in perpetuity. I THINK his underlying beefs are that Hartlepool Council pinched a small part of Victory Square to build a new shopping mall and the Redheugh Gardens statue is incorrectly referred to in listing documents and press reports as Winged Victory ... but of course I might be totally wrong. 21st CENTURY  GREENSTUFF 10:53, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

RAF Donna Nook
Hi, can you take another look at this edit you made to the RAF Donna Nook article. The coordinates in the header and one of the pair in the infobox shows somewhere near Bristol thus no marker on the map. Should there be 2 sets of co-ordinates? Keith D (talk) 09:53, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I have made several attempts to place the coords by using Google Earth but it still doesn't place the marker in the right place. I give up and leave it to someone else to sort out. 21st CENTURY  GREENSTUFF 10:34, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The coordinates i used should of placed the marker on a small helipad that has been slightly turned into a car park with the addition of parking lines and three small buildings, which is located 3.24 miles NE of Grainthorpe (on the A1031), however when i personally use the military structure infobox it places two sets of co-ordinates and in the edit view you need to change one of them to "GB-" then a three letter word for the county but at present i do not know the code which removes the second set. But ideally i might need to change the map for another one since the bombing shore is on the mud. Gavbadger (talk) 11:16, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ Fixed, i tried again using the Coordinates and Geohack and this time there are in the right place and the second set are gone. When i tried the first time using the coordinates and Geohack the numbers were completely different. Gavbadger (talk) 11:25, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Air Rhodesia Flight 825
Hi Gavbadger, I'm sorry to bother you but I was just wondering if you might be able to quickly glance your eyes over the Air Rhodesia Flight 825 article for a B class review on behalf of the Aviation Wikiproject, and perhaps also the Terrorism Project if you feel able to judge. The article is presently listed for a GA review, but another user has requested a B class review first (see talk page). Thanks, <b style="color:white; background:darkgreen">—<b style="color:white; background:darkgreen">Cliftonian</b> <b style="color:white; background:darkgreen">(talk)</b></b> 17:23, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
