Talk:RAF Coningsby

Runway direction

Although it states on the page that the runwasy are 08/26, the station documentation states this as 07/25. This may have been redesignated due to variation in magnetic north. 151.170.240.10 (talk) 11:03, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

 Done Satellite imagery agrees with the change. Gavbadger (talk) 12:32, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

TSR2

In the paragraph alluding to the use of Coningsby as TSR2 base, it's stated that the aircraft was cancelled by the Labour government for "purported economic reasons" implying that this was not the true reason. The fact that cancellation occurred during a Labour government is irrelevant as it's generally accepted that a Conservative government, if it had won the 1964 general election, would have cancelled the project, having laid the plans to do so whilst in power. 86.182.173.8 (talk) 17:33, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
