Ref name[edit]

Tried to bundle up refs using ref name= tag but it didn't work. Can someone help fix this? Luconst 16:50, 9 May 2011 (UTC) Thank you :) Luconst 10:02, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Thrown or Jumped?[edit]

The article says he was thrown 160 yards away from his machine, the London Times says he jumped clear as it fell. MilborneOne (talk) 14:46, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing this out. I was confused as sources seemed to contradict each other. Tried to find the source from London Times but don't have access to it online. Could you add the ref? Luconst 22:59, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
