Closure in 1993

In the first section it mentions that recruit training ceased and moved to RAF Halton in 1993, yet all the citations that follow it are from either 1988 (with no page listed) or 1981. That's not logical. I will try to find an RS to cover this. The joy of all things (talk) 21:12, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WRAF at Swinderby

It states that female recruits started at Swinderby in 1976 I believe this is inaccurate as I was at Swinderby in Oct 1982 when the first Female Recruit intake arrived — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:509B:9E00:48B2:75D1:3C8E:82A0 (talk) 21:43, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this statement. A recent FB thread reinforces these facts - that WRAF and RAF were trained together from late 1982 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.97.41.238 (talk) 16:00, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
