RAF Kingsnorth (Isle Grain)[edit]

As far as I have been able to tell, there was never an "RAF Kingsnorth" on the Isle of Grain. There was "RNAS Grain", a seaplane station, which was taken over by the RAF after its formation, but never AFAIK called "RAF Kingsnorth". It is also very rarely, if ever, (I can't think of an example) that two RAF stations at different locations, even at different times, shared a name.

see [1] for the best explanation I've come across so far.

This may need a bit more research, but on that basis, can we revert RAF Kingsnorth (WWII) to RAF Kingsnorth and dispense with the dab page? Regards, Lynbarn (talk) 17:24, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A lack of references to RAF Kingsnorth during the First World War would be enough to show that the WWII was one the primary topic anyway. GraemeLeggett (talk) 17:28, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would tend to agree that the Second World War station is the primary topic, and also that the Isle of Grain entry may be a misapprehension. DuncanHill (talk) 20:05, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
