General

• No disambiguation links.
• Copyright tags for the pictures look fine.
• No neutrality issues.
• No missing in-line citations.
• No original research.
• Article is stable.

Lead

• Link to World War II. First and only time it appears in the lead.
  • I find more and more that this is considered an example of overlinking, as the subject is so wide ranging and well known. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 20:12, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
    • That's fine.--Khanate General (talk) 06:04, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

World War II and aftermath

• "one of the Dragons was destroyed in an accident at Parafield, causing two deaths—No. 34 Squadron's first fatalities" What was the accident?
  • Added what detail is available. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 20:12, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
• Define "mercy flight".
  • Tweaked. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 20:12, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

VIP operation

• "Eligibility criteria were also codified, potential passengers including Federal ministers" Needs a conjunction or a semicolon between the two independent clauses.
  • Well since it refers to eligible passengers I think the comma is grammatically correct. The alternative would be "Eligibility criteria were also codified; potential passengers included Federal ministers", which I'm happy to use instead if you prefer.

    • It would be correct if the second clause was made dependent by placing the participial phrase before the noun so that it modifies the main clause, but not in this case because the participial phrase is modifying "potential passengers" and not the "eligibility criteria". It's a minor nitpick, but it's been fixed.--Khanate General (talk) 06:03, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
