RNAS Killingholme edit

RNAS Killingholme is mentioned in Blackburn_Twin_Blackburn. Is this the same location, or nearby? Some clarification would be a nice addition, TIA. Jan olieslagers (talk) 20:59, 12 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Not opened 1914? edit

An airfield opened in July 1914, the first aerodrome in Lincolnshire.[citation needed] The airfield was built by George Wimpey.[citation needed]

http://raf-lincolnshire.info/nkillingholme/nkillingholme.htm could be unreliable and may be contradicted by http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/Killingholme/ which states "•NAS Killingholme aerodrome was established in July, 1914, on the Humber Estuary. It was the first aerodrome in Lincolnshire" - RNAS Killingholme is a completely different thing -- its Royal Navy.

In the absence of any other reliable printed sources this needs to stay removed.Xiiophen (talk) 03:25, 9 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
