Images[edit]

IMHO, it seems inappropriate to illustrate this article with no fewer than five photos of Grob Tutors, given that none of the aircraft pictured appear to be associated with the unit that is the subject of this article (not to mention the fact that the Tutor has only equipped the unit for the last 10 or so years of its 52-year history). I suggest one photo of a Tutor would be sufficient, captioned with the caveat that the particular aircraft in question is not specificially operated by 12 AEF, unless a photo of an actual 12 AEF Tutor can be found.

Thats just your opinion, most of Wikipedia articles on RAF squadrons don't have the actual squadron aircraft, I was going to add a Bulldog and Chipmunk but..... Anyway do we really need different articles all near enough duplicating each other? I'm going to suggest and the other articles be merged with Air Experience Flight Pandaplodder (talk) 18:15, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, some Chipmunk and Bulldog photos and a few less Tutor photos would reduce the undue weight. I suppose it could be argued that the AEFs all have similar histories, though the No. 1 Air Experience Flight RAF article, at least, seems to contain a lot of unit-specific content. I would support moving any content in AEF articles not specific to the unit into Air Experience Flight but leaving the individual AEF articles in place.

Merge[edit]

This article was nominated for merging with Air Experience Flight on 24 August 2010. The result of the discussion was not to merge due to lack of support after almost 2 years Oddbodz (talk) 14:44, 30 May 2012 (UTC).[reply]
