Verification
One of the things that you may well find frustrating in Wikipedia is that it does not matter what is true, what matters is what can be verified by references (usually online references). The station's online website still refers to Digby as still being the RAF's oldest station ... similarly the station's published handbook makes a similar claim. To change the article in that respect you MUST be able to quote a good and reliable reference to the contrary. If you keep changing things back to your version without the references it may be viewed as edit warring and you may find yourself blocked from editing.

May I suggest you just make the change in relation to the Station Commander/Head of JSSU as a separate item. 21st CENTURY  GREENSTUFF 18:29, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Very elegant rewording there now. I have a query - there is still a Station Commander in post (currently a Squadron Leader), so where does he fit into the overall scheme of things at the facility? 21st CENTURY  GREENSTUFF 20:06, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

The 'Station Commander' title is currently held by the Officer Commanding the Digby Support Unit (DSU) which undertakes all the administration necessary to support the site, however it is shortly to disappear, marking the full adoption of a tri-service way of working on the site.Igs1963 (talk) 20:37, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Digby naming

Now that the site website is changed to support the edit you want to make it's moderately supportable, although I'd suggest that a review of the whole website is done as there are references to RAF Digby still there, that would make your change liable to challenge.

Notwithstanding that if the site is no longer an RAF station then the article title should reflect that. To make sure the move goes to an appropriate place can you clarify what the title should now be. If we look at Chicksands for example it's now DISC Chicksands. Should we move the article to JSSO Digby?

Also given your position it would be worth reviewing the Conflict of Interest guidance and perhaps declaring yourself.

Many thanks
