Elevation

I have changed the elevation figure because the original figure given - 330m - was clearly incorrect as on the official LINZ 1:50 000 topo maps the 100m contour line runs across the airstrip. However I don't have any information as to the exact height of the airstrip so can anyone with that information please fix it. Daveosaurus (talk) 12:06, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I propose that Croydon Aircraft Company be merged into Mandeville Aerodrome. The company article has been proposed for deletion for lack of notability. I think that any notability the company may have is its operation of the Mandeville Aerodrome and therefore the content would fit well in the Mandeville Aerodrome article, which is currently little more than a stub.

The Mandeville Aerodrome and the Croydon Aircraft Company are not the same thing, so they ought not to be merged. If the CAC is not considered notable, why is Mandeville Aerodrome considered notable. There is nothing special about Mandeville Aerodrome (although I am really fond of the place). But there is something unique and special about Croydon Aircraft Company.

If merging Mandeville Aerodrome and Croydon Aircraft Company is considered a good idea then we should merge Seattle and Boeing. I am removing the merger suggestion from the article. Paul Beardsell (talk) 23:28, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
