Sources tag[edit]

Adding a sources tag seems a bit extreme for this page - two credible references are stated in the reference section, (although there are no cites in the document) Nigel Ish 15:19, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Engine type and power[edit]

The article currently gives two conflicting outputs for this type's Goshawk engine, an unlikely 720 hp and a ludicrous 775 hp and states that the engine was the Goshawk VIII which was as I understand a special high-output experimental engine. This obviously needs clearing up, but without proper reference material to hand I'm not qualified to do the edit. Any takers?TheLongTone (talk) 11:21, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
