RAF Woodbridge → MoD Woodbridge – Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:38, 25 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
- I believe that the name of this article should be updated to 'MoD Woodbridge' or possibly 'Rock Barracks (MoD Woodbridge)'. Here are sources for the proposed name.[3]. Any thoughts? PeterEastern (talk) 14:47, 18 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
- Oppose it has been RAF Woodbridge far longer than anything else. May be better to start a new article. MilborneOne (talk) 20:11, 20 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
- I have clarified the history of the site more clearly now in the lead emphasising the heritage of the base whilest not ignoring its current usage. I would suggest that the article could accommodate more information about current usage if someone wanted to add it in due course. As time goes by a move/split may wish to be reconsidered, however I am content to leave it for now with the current title and as a single article.

- I passed the base last weekend and noted that there seems to be considerable confusion about what it is called, with three different road signs on the approach to the base calling it by different names. The first sign was for 'Woodbridge Airfield', the next for 'MoD Woodbridge' and at the entrance for 'Sutton Heath - Rock Barracks'. This seems to be another reason to leave the name of the article unchanged at the present time. As proposer of the move, I am not sure how I should close the move request as 'rejected', possibly someone else could do that in due course. PeterEastern (talk) 03:34, 28 February 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Timeline not clear
[edit ]The layout seems disjointed, and the article is currently more focussed on units (squadrons), including one (79th FS/TFS) that was a bit of a cuckoo. Consequently the timeline is fragmented as follows
- WWII (1943-45)
- 79th FS (1952 - 1970)
- Twin-bases (1958 - 1993)
- 67 ARRS (1970 - 1992)
- 1990's (closure 1992/93)
Somehow, the most significant period (1958-93), the most significant units (81st TFW), and the most significant aircraft (F-4D Phantom) are all relegated to 'barely mentioned'. Indeed, the F-4 Phantom doesn't even get a photo!
This needs to be put right. First on my list will be a photo of an 81st TFW F-4D with base code 'WR' writ large all over the tail, not the scrawny version barely visible on the later A-10s. Lol.
