I'd get rid of the Gaza Strip map as it's an anachronism and use the Mandate map. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 21:03, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Location edit
The article says RAF Gaza was on the site of the modern Karni crossing between the Gaza Strip and Israel
with a citation in Hebrew, which I can't read. Karni crossing, which is on the north east side of the strip is nowhere near the coordinates added to the article (or the pushpin in the map). DeCausa (talk) 12:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, the co-ordinates came from RAF WEB which is referenced in the article. It seems looking at the The Jerusalem Post reference and my copy of C.G. Jefford (RAF Squadrons. A comprehensive record of the movement and equipment of all RAF squadrons and their antecedents since 1912), it appears that the airfield was around 4 nautical miles from the coast. Showing that the RAF WEB co-ordinates are incorrect. I can't find a exact location due to Google Maps blurring of Israel, so i've placed the co-ordinates as being on the (now closed) Karni crossing.
