About the memorial: Geographical Marker:: Memorials to Airfields or RAF stations are not necessarily war memorials. If the intent is to commemorate the site, then the memorial is to the location. If the memorial dedication includes reference to the military service, injury or death of those who worked at the site then it is more likely to be considered a war memorial. Often a review of the inscription will be key in making an assessment. War Memorials Trust keeps these records under review and also aims to ensure a Link is provided below to the relevant page of the Airfields of Britain Conservation Trust - some of the information being added to War Memorials Online may be more appropriate to share with them. Engraved Horton stone with RAF badge beside the entrance to the Go-Kart arena. Named Edgehill to avoid confusion with RTAF Shennington with two R'2 in Scotland.
