Droxford station

... that Droxford railway station served as Winston Churchill's base of operations during preparations for the Normandy Landings? Source: In this particular article, cited to Buttrey 2012 p.56 ("Winston Churchill was using this train as his base"), but can be verified from any biography of Churchill or history of the Normandy landings just by googling Churchill Droxford.

Comment: This is a whopper of an article with any number of potential hooks, but I'd consider the Churchill fact to be most interesting to general readers

:* -Article is new enough (expanded (well over!) 5x—from this to this, and moved from sandbox today); clearly long enough; absolutely neutral, sufficiently cited, and with no copyright or paraphrasing issues; hook is are well within character limit, accurate, sourced, and interesting (to train enthisiasts, history buffs and everyone in between!); QPQ done from nom.; image is free, relevant, and clear in miniature. >SerialNumber54129^{...speculates} 14:12, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
