The article appears to digress off-subject. I'm proposing a deletion of the content outlined below, as irrelevant to RAF Wroughton. As someone who is not local to the area (I'm in the United States) it's very unclear to me what connection the following paragraphs have to the RAF station. Are they talking about exhibits at the Museum Annex now located at Wroughton? If so, that should be made much clearer.

Proposed deletions:

I've discovered since writing the above that a good portion of the content of the original article (including most of the paragraphs I suggested should be deleted) has been plagarized verbatim from this site: http://www.swindonweb.com/guid/heriplanes0.htm Since there's no indication that permission was granted for re-publication of the material on wikipedia, I will delete the copyrighted material. Most of it didn't belong in the article anyway. Itsfullofstars 09:29, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've done complete rewrites of some material that was part of the original copywritten text, but is still germaine to the subject of the article. I believe all the text under copyright is now gone, but I've still given attribution to the site that was the original source of the material. Unless I find other sources for Wroughton's RAF and RN history to flesh that period out more, it's likely I'll be moving on. There really should be a separate article about the Science Museum Wroughton, which I may get around to creating. Itsfullofstars 10:31, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is believed at some time the Sea Cadet Corps had a training school here based in one of the hangers near the fire station

Despite the work done by Itsfullofstars in 2007, there was substantial copyvio remaining from the initial copy-pastes when the page was created (comparison). Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:48, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
