New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. Maury Markowitz, you might be interested in learning about the |adj= parameter of {{convert}}, given that several areas needed it. I can't access the full book, but I saw a preview to verify ALT0. Both hooks are interesting. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:55, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Citation 7 page number inaccuracy[edit]

Citation 7 on this page, High Stakes, Britain's Air Arms In Action 1945-1990 by Vic Flintham has an incorrect page number. While the page references page 273 as the origins of the information referenced, the correct page would be page 141.

I'd correct this myself but cannot alter the citations, so if someone would be willing to change them to be more accurate I would be very thankful!

Done. It took me a minute to figure it out, but I did it. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 02:07, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
