This article doesn't mention the various restaurants and amenities at the base. Is somebody able to provide a comprehensive list of these? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.208.46.2 ( talk) 15:37, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
No mention at ALL that the F-111's in the 1986 Libya raid came out of this base?? We lost 2 people from that base in the raid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.112.219.84 ( talk) 23:46, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
i cant remember what year it was or the names of the victims, but i am pretty sure 2 murder victims' bodys where found in an alleyway by one of the perimeter fences a few years back. maybe someone else knows some details? KiraChinmoku ( T, ¤) 15:04, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Can someone please add details of the gate sentry aircraft, mounted on a post near the main entrance? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 09:16, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Is it just me, or was this meant to read "no detonation" ? Jan olieslagers ( talk) 22:27, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
The article as it stands, states "Had one or more of the bombs exploded, the resulting explosion would have scattered depleted uranium over a wide area, similar to a Chernobyl-like incident." Leaving aside the arguments as to (i) whether genuinely depleted uranium is as toxic as some make out and (ii) whether the bomb in question had a DU tamper as opposed to a natural uranium one, this statement is clearly nonsense, as the Chernobyl disaster (iii) concerned enriched reactor-grade rather than depleted uranium and (iv) was mostly problematic due to the scattering of fission byproducts rather than the unconsumed moderately-enriched fuel.

The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content—the material needs must be removed from the article until a consensus has been reached here. I have done so, in the hope that all parties will respect policy and guideline and thus avoid a request for administrative intervention or sanction over such a minor matter. —— Serial 17:52, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
I think it would be nice to explain a little bit about the Mixed Museum regarding the self-published source (SPS) question on the information about African American GIs at Lakenheath airbase that has previously been replaced. The Mixed Museum is a digital museum run by academics and funded by the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council. The information about Black GIs and Brown Babies on the Museum's website was supported by Professor Lucy Bland's research on the topic. Her book Britain's 'brown babies': The stories of children born to black GIs and white women in the Second World War was published by Manchester University Press in 2019 and won the Social History Society's Book Prize award in 2021. So the contents about Black GIs and the Brown Babies are supported by reliable sources. Lx18940917 ( talk) 10:31, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
It says who left then, but not what, if anything arrived after that and were there until the US came. IceDragon64 ( talk) 21:20, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
The article says that the US came to the base, but no information about the how and why of US base on UK soil. Even if this is very basic paragraph, or even just a link elsewhere, we must provide SOMETHING about this really important info. IceDragon64 ( talk) 21:24, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
