Unclear phrasing[edit]

Was this the last ariel victory by a meteor anywhere or just an IAF meteor? Either way it should be made clearer. Unfortunately I don't have the requisite knowledge and a few minutes on google isn't conclusive. Egg Centric (talk) 23:53, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The exact line says "last for the IAF's Gloster Meteors.", so it's Israel's last Meteor kill. Might have been the last Meteor kill anywhere, but my sources didn't say that. Poliocretes (talk) 10:15, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarification. It still seems unclear to me but unfortunately I can't really think of an alternative phrasing that isn't clumbsy or long winded, so guess we'll stick with this! Egg Centric (talk) 11:05, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is this ok? It's a shame to do because the article is beautifully written but I'm hoping this flows just as well. Egg Centric (talk) 16:07, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Does this count as an airliner shootdown incident?[edit]
