Comments[edit]

A few whoopsies in there, I'm afraid. Firstly flying units numbered 1300 to 1970 were Flights not Squadrons (fixed). Secondly some of your squadrons don' reconcile with a source that I have for location and in some cases equipment, but this may be because the equipment lists and base info is not exhaustive in the source (Flying units of the RAF by Alan Lake ISBN 1 84037 086 6)!Petebutt (talk) 19:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed; I think that No. 461 Squadron RAAF should be here. The article is off to a good start though. Nick-D (talk) 08:39, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've just realised it isn't finished yet, looking forward to the rest.188.65.183.51 (talk) 14:35, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another whoopsie: Does that source really say that 330 (N) Squadron flew Hudsons in 1942? Paaln (talk) 19:49, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What about 221 Squadron? Wellingtons ... formed Nov 1940, operational May 1941. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.56.141 (talk) 18:49, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another minor point: the United States Navy PB4Y-1's were still known as Liberators. Only the single-tailed PB4Y-2's were Privateers.--172.191.33.4 (talk) 01:00, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
