1954 details in Post War section
[edit]I think the following text from the Post War section should be removed this article: "1954 - The airfield was still packed full of Lancaster & Lincoln Bombers that had returned to UK from one of the last bombing attacks on Germany. The Aircraft were diverted to Edzell; as the East Coast of England was covered in a blanket of fog. The Aircrews were given a Rail ticket back to their base - and an RAF packed lunch! At that point in time, many of the Aircrew involved were actually returning to Edzell to visit their aircraft! Just to qualify information, I was an ATC cadet from South Devon attending annual camp, the parked aircraft were fascinating - the additional information came from our "briefing" shortly after arriving." This is uncited and partly written in the first person and without secondary sources unverifiable. While not wishing to question the validity of the contribution, or to dispute that the information might be interesting, I really do not think it can be described as encyclopedic and must conclude that it is not suitable content for this article.

Sign theft?
[edit]A BBC article mentions that a sign at RAF Edzell was welded to its post following thefts which were blamed on foreign personnel,[1] but doesn't give any further details (such as when it was or what sort of sign was involved). I haven't been able to find out anything more about it, but it might be worth mentioning in the article if someone does. Aoeuidhtns (talk) 18:12, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
