Hi, keen to review this one. Comments to follow. Dracophyllum 09:09, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

1a)

  • Born at in Rakahuri near Rangiora | Are you referring to the sheep station or the region here?
  • He died at in Christchurch in 1994, aged 74.
  • "and dovetailed combined this with work on the station"
  • was involved in Operation Torch,; the Allied invasion of French North Africa | Optional
  • Struggling with the trim of the aircraft, he brought the entire crew into the cockpit area to improve the weight distribution and turned for Algiers. | Link to Trim tab if this is what you mean
  • what are "sloops"?
  • As Operation Overlord,(the invasion of Normandy) approached, Coastal Command stepped up its patrolling operations
  • much of his time, he tried to fly operationally as much as he could.
  • He then spent several months in New Zealand on leave,; from March to September. | Optional
  • He died at in Christchurch on 27 December 1994.

1b)

Lede is appropriately sized and is a good summary of the article and sections are excellent. Pass  Y

5) Article is stable  Y

6a)b) Photos are tagged correctly and captions are good.  Y

  • Sources are reliable and well organised, no OR. Can't verify main source but clippings are accurate. Can pass this but are the newspapers excerpts a) needed (they seem to mostly restate what is said in the prose) and b) in the public domain? @Zawed: Dracophyllum 08:05, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Notes

edit
  • In the future I would like to get a hold of the Franks books for greater context of Coastal Command's operations against U-boats and to reduce reliance on the main source. Otherwise I am happy with the sourcing as it stands. Zawed (talk) 10:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I agree the sourcing is fine, but just in case you were unaware Internet Archive accounts are free which means you already have access to those books (at least digitally) if you would like them. Dracophyllum 10:38, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Dracophyllum: thanks for the review, much appreciated. I have responded as above and with edits to the article, and it is ready for you to take another look. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 10:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
