Merger with Leavesden Studios
[edit]Merged content from Leavesden Aerodrome to here. I will outline my reasons below:
I proposed that Leavesden Aerodrome be merged into Leavesden Studios. Have updated both pages recently, but since they are technically about the exact same site - and all of the same information is available in the more comprehensive article, does it not make sense to merge both?
I think that the content in the Leavesden Aerodrome article can easily be explained in the context of the studios history, and the Leavesden article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Aerodrome will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. Indeed there is a Leavesden Aerodrome section under History that is already word for word, the same. To the extent even the categories and groups at the bottom of the page are the same or more comprehensive on the Studios article.
It seems misleading that someone could type 'Leavesden Aerodrome' into the search bar and be directed here. If they were merged, it would redirect them to the Studios article stating they have been automatically redirected, with information in the introduction and history sections clearly explaining that the studios and the aerodrome are the same place.

History
[edit]The back lot site at Leavesden incorporates what was Leavesden aerodrome (EGTI) and the old control tower still stands above the studio building. The site was used in the war and Rolls Royce continued there until the 1990s. They allowed a number of private general aviation clubs to operare including Leavesden Flight Centre and Firecrest Aviation (subsequently moved to Elstree Aerodrome). There was one hard runway 957m x 46m aligned on 057 and 237 degrees (designated 06/24) and a second unlicenced grass runway 870m x 29m aligned 109 and 289 degrees (designated 11/29). The main runway was equipped with a PAPI light system (precision approach path indicator). The operating frequencys were 122.15 (leavesden approach) and 121.40 (leavesden radar). At weekends, the air traffic control (ATC) was replaced with and air ground (AG) radion operator - callsign Leavesden Radio. The closure of the aerodrome followed closure of the factory. The latter seemed to come about soon after the site had been hit by industrial action. Prior to that there had been annual open days at the factory which was involved with the development of the Trent engine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.108.242 (talk) 11:52, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
