I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:21, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

• No DABs, external links OK
• Images appropriately licensed
• The airfield had three grass runways: north/south which was 1,280 metres (4,200 ft), east/west which was 1,143 meters (3,750 ft) and south east/north west which was 1,005 meters (3,297 ft). Awkward. You never tell the readers that the measurement was length.  Done – clarified the distances are length and tried to cut down on text.
• Only use the year on the first date; readers will know that all following dates are for that year until told different.  Done
• Avro Ansons multi-role aircraft suggest changing the latter description to "trainers"  Done
• However, the high frequency of flying and ground conditions led to drainage problems Suggest something like "The combination of ..."  Done
• 1944 seems awfully early for the RAF to have any surplus Lancasters or Harvards  Done – checked source and it only describes storage of aircraft so haev claridied
• Harvards were trainers, not fighters  Done --Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:04, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
