On 1 June 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from Arromanches Camp to RM Instow. The result of the discussion was moved.

Employment[edit]

It states on the North Devon page that Arromanches is one of the major employers in the area. Does anyone have any information to back this up? Employment numbers perhaps? EdwardRussell (talk) 09:48, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Arromanches Camp → RM Instow – Known as RM Instow since at least before 2019, per a number of sources. I cannot find sources to support Arromanches Camp SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 10:49, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weakly Support A google site search of the Royal Navy (and Marines) website showed one hit for one hit for "Arromanches Camp", and nine for "RM Instow". Disclaimer: I'm only weakly supporting because my expertise in the subject matter is practically nil, and I'm solely going on the web searches as my guide.

Coordinates[edit]

The page used to show the coordinates as 51.04306°N 4.18583°W, but that is south of Instow opposite Harland and Wolff (ex-Appledore Shipbuilders). I have changed the coordinates to 51.05815°N 4.17588°W based on the Geohraph photo and Google's satellite photos and street view of the entrance. That's to the north of the town, by the cricket ground. DDFoster96 (talk) 13:56, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
