Operational Altitudes[edit]

Article states - "designed to fight at extremely high altitudes in the stratosphere" (My emphasis).

Stratosphere = up to 60km, i.e. just short of 200,000 feet.

Welkin's Service ceiling: 44,000 ft

Reword with less sensationalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.176.46 (talk) 15:49, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stratosphere starts around 10,000 m (33,000 ft), most aircraft couldn't reach that. So the Welkin was going to fly at extremely high altitudes in the stratosphere. GraemeLeggett (talk) 17:53, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CE[edit]

Changed some references to sfn to get rid of the red cautions.Keith-264 (talk) 21:21, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lead image[edit]

As we have a real image in the article does anybody object if it is put in the infobox and the drawing moved down the article? MilborneOne (talk) 17:32, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Could a list of units operating the Welkin be added?

Number produced[edit]

The infobox has 75 built plus the 2 prototypes and adds 26 engine-less airframes comes to 103 which is to many. The production contract was for 100 later reduced to 98 so I would expect the total to add up to 100 (98+2). MilborneOne (talk) 15:17, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
