Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Saunders-Roe A.36 Lerwick/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The article could well be expanded in all ways. I particularly miss a section of its operational history although it saw quite limited service

Move

This ought to be at Saunders-Roe Lerwick as common name used in preference to any combination of design number and service name.GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:13, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Totally agree, otherwise we would be looking at Wikipedia for the Supermarine Type 300 (Spitfire) and the Short S.29 (Stirling). For British made aircraft, these alpha-numeric manufacturer identities are mostly only used up until the point at which the design is firmed up and receives an appropriate name. After that point the alpha-numeric type might continue to be used on legal documentation, in conjunction with the chosen name. But they are not commonly used (or indeed recognised) either by the services (RAF, RN, etc) or by the general public.

Operational losses

Is it eleven, or fourteen? The list contains fourteen incidents, involving fourteen different aircraft, all of them major, frequently involving the aircraft sinking. I can only find these three that were not obviously immediate write-offs.

• 29 Jun 1940; L7261 - ...rolled over and sank. The aircraft was recovered but was a total loss
• 21 Nov 1940; L7251 - the aircraft sank, was salvaged, but was only used as a training airframe until it sank again at a later date.
• 11 Nov 1941; L7257 - sank at its moorings during a gale; salvaged in December 1941. Struck off charge in 1942 as being beyond repair

Surely these were all DBR (damaged beyond repair), which effectively translates to total loss, albeit at a later date, making the total fourteen out of 21.
