Something missing?[edit]

Nice article, but there's something missing. What about the service history of the aircraft. What squadrons did it operate with, was it lost in action or due to an accident, or scrapped after the war? Mjroots (talk) 06:48, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Was operated by 19 OTU at RAF Kinloss then scrapped in 1948 but I dont have a reliable ref. MilborneOne (talk) 08:57, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could anyone find verifiable sources related to the aircraft LN514 itself? To add a bit of its history to the article. Regards, DPdH (talk) 12:20, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On much the same note, although the article's title refers specifically to the plane, only about two sentences in the article are devoted to the plane itself, including nothing after it took off for the first time. The article might better be titled "Wellington Bomber Contruction Stunt" or "Bomber Construction Propaganda Movie" or even the title of the newsreel, as those aspects get lots of space and discussion. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 16:07, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good point the article is actually about the film Worker's Week-End and a 2010 documentary about that film, I would have thought Worker's Week-End would be a better title, it currently redirects to here. MilborneOne (talk) 17:35, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, lovely[edit]

Thnaks for this article - I saw the documentary last year and was hoping someone would make a page about the plane ...86.142.104.120 (talk) 10:08, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
