Hi Mikeyp72. You've added "Sturtivant, Ballance 2016" to 764 Naval Air Squadron, but it's undefined in the article. Did you mean "The Squadrons of The Fleet Air Arm - Sturtivant, Ballance 1994" or "The Squadrons and Units of the Fleet Air Arm - Ballance 2016"? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 18:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mikeyp72. Sorry to bother you again but 719 Naval Air Squadron is missing a cite for "Wragg 2019". -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 19:48, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry again, at 756 Naval Air Squadron should Ballance 2019beWragg 2019? I can't find a Balance 2019 work. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 20:30, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
With this edit to RNAS Dale (HMS Goldcrest) edit, the article doesn't need a separate units section. That was there only as a temporary measure until the information was written as prose which is the preferred way on Wikipedia, see MOS:USEPROSE for more info. The section needs to be removed.
We only keep separate unit sections in active miltiary bases like RAF Coningsby#Based units.

You seem to be an authority on these. Is it possible that you have information about the Pwllheli Target, a large tripod structure in the sea between Pwllheli and Abersoch. It was huge, and no documentation exists that I have found so far. It was removed in the late 1960s and no obvious trace remains, certainly above the waves. It is said to have been a bombing target. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 15:17, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent work, uploading all these Wing Leader details. However, there appears to be an error in your source material concerning No. 52 TBR Wing, as Lt Comm Fox served BEFORE Lt Comm Rance, who remained Wing Leader until it was disbanded. I believe the correct order should be: (1) Shrubsole (26 Nov 43); (2) Britton (5 Jan 44); (3) Fox (24 Jan 44); (4) Rance (15 Feb 44). My sources are below. I would be happy to upload these amendments, or you might prefer to do so yourself? Best, Mike. 1. Lt Comm Fox’s entry in the list of FAA Commanding Officers 1939-45 states “Wing Leader 52nd Wing briefly in spring 1944, prior to the attacks on the battleship Tirpitz”(see http://fleetairarmarchive.net/RollofHonour/COs/CommandingOfficers-f.htm ); 2. Fox left his former role as CO of 830 NAS for a Wing Leader role in the second half of January 44 ( see “Wings Over the Waves - Fleet Air Arm Strike Leader Against Tirpitz”, Graham Drucker’s biography of Lt Cdr Roy Baker-Falkner : page 290 (“15 January. I have just heard that Richard Kingdon is coming up here to take over command of one of the squadrons [830 NAS] in my wing”) and page 291 (“Saturday [29/1/44]. I told you that Fox has left us and got his own party [ie Wing] like me”. 3. Britton became Wing Leader of No. 2 and No. 12 TBR Wings on 24 Jan 44, so this would be the logical date for Fox to commence his brief command of No. 52 TBR Wing. (Clearly Britton’s tenure at No. 52 TBR Wing was even more temporary). 4. Rance’s previous role as CO of 831 NAS ended on 12 Feb 44 so the start date given by your source (15 Feb 44) looks right. There are multiple sources for Rance’s pivotal leadership of No. 52 TBR Wing from late February (when preparations for the attack on Tirpitz, Operation Tungsten, were under way, through April (Op. Tunsten, Op. Ridge Able) and into June 44 (Operation Lombard: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205155869). Turnbullmike (talk) 18:27, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
