GEE Station

[edit]

I believe Bulbarrow Hill was a GEE master station during WWII... seems worth a mention.

  • You seem to be correct, and Bulbarrow is listed as the "master" of the "southern chain" in the Gee (navigation) article. Unfortunately, their reference for this is the rather cryptic "RAF Signals 1939–1945". I googled for this and found some hits (e.g. [1]) to the hard copy, but nothing online. I don't think we can take your link as a "reliable source" (WP:RS), nor can we simply take the word of the original editor of the other article and use "RAF Signals 1939–1945". However, if you can find a copy of this book, you can then maybe find the actual volume and page, and we can then add this information to the article. Note that Wikipedia absolutely does not require references to be online. If you are in the UK you are probably in a better position to find the book than I am. If you need help with formatting the reference after you find the book, please come back and ask. We can also use the book to provide better citations in the other article.

OK, I found a reasonable reference and added a new section to the article. It would still be really good to find that hardcopy. -Arch dude (talk) 18:03, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
