Hi Nick, should be able to review this week. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:46, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ian Nick-D (talk) 00:10, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Toolbox check -- no dablink or EL issues

Prose/structure/detail -- apart from my very minor edits, couldn't fault anything here

Referencing -- citation formatting/density fine and sources reliable

Images -- obviously no licensing issues with no images; I suppose you could throw in a 38SQN Dakota shot for context but will leave to you

I thought about adding the one of the squadron's aircraft in Malaya in 1950, but I wasn't sure if they used this paint scheme in 1946, and couldn't find a better option in the AWM database or Trove. I'll have another look though. Nick-D (talk) 10:35, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well done, Nick, happy to pass as GA. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 10:18, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
