[edit] Ryanair

Can I ask where the comment on the runway being to short for Ryanair B738s to land only using reverse thrust came from, I think (open to correction) that this is complete rubbish if a Boeing 767-300ER aircraft finds the runway sufficiently long enought to land, an aircraft much much larger. Wozza 1 13:14 13 April 2006 (GMT)

I agree with Wozza, sounds like fantasy to me too. Unless someone can corroborate I think that it should be deleted. Rob 12:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

As the 767 is the more recent perhaps it has a better design in terms of air-brakes, low landing speed etc than the older 737? GraemeLeggett 15:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

The 767 is not more recent than the Next Generation 737-800's operated by Ryanair. Field length is a function of available thrust and braking distance and often it is the rejected takeoff length which is the critical deciding factor rather than landing stop distances. This document http://www.aaiu.ie/upload/general/4757-0.PDF talks about a Ryanair landing and they use both systems for stopping as I would expect (though not to particularly good effect in this case!). Think that it should be deleted. Rob 15:20, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I've changed it to state that there have just been rumours about such a service, if anyone wants to add to that then please do, preferably consulting this discussion page and backing up statements with evidence --wozza 16:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nwia22.jpg

Image:Nwia22.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RAF Horsham St Faith

Should the early history be moved into the RAF Horsham St Faith article (currently a redirect) and this article details the history since 1963. Any thoughts ? MilborneOne 20:02, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

A reasonable idea and then this article can retain a brief summary and an appropiate "main" link. GraemeLeggett 09:59, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Split completed, although the two articles might need a bit more of a tidy up. MilborneOne 11:58, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
