Useful new reference

[edit]

The RAAF has recently released a rather useful-looking booklet to mark the 70th anniversary of this squadron's establishment. It's available via http://news.defence.gov.au/2013/07/16/air-forces-no-37-squadron-celebrates-its-70th-anniversary/ Nick-D (talk) 10:26, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tks Nick, this is on my list for an upgrade to at least GA, per the other transport squadron articles we've been improving lately... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 14:34, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Nick, only three years later, finally got around to enhancing this...! Think it's ready for GAN now, and hopefully A/FA after that to join 33/34/36/38 Sqns. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 08:54, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it looks very comprehensive. I managed to sit on a half-finished draft of the Bougainville counterattack article for four years until AustralianRupert recently prompted me to move it into article space! Nick-D (talk) 09:59, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
