Comments

This article is in very good shape. I have the following comments, however:

• "Their final mission of the war was Operation Varsity in March 1945" - this is a bit confusing as the brigade saw action after this during the advance through north Germany

Wording changed their final airborne mission of the war

• Can any details of the period May 1943 to April 1944 be added? At present there's almost a year missing from the coverage of this brigade's short life

Apart from Exercise Mush, there is nothing at all on what the British airborne forces did in England prior to Normandy. Everything I can find written only concentrates on the 1st Airborne Division in the Med. Even the history of the Glider Pilot Regiment has nothing on the period apart from two exercises in January and February 1944 (but they do not mention carrying any troops).

Found details of training which have been added. While it does not mention the brigade by name it does say "all units of 6th Airborne Division" etc. So there should be no problem over the sources. Jim Sweeney (talk) 15:41, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

• The placement of the material on Operation Deadstick after that on Operation Mallard is confusing.

That all looks good to me - great work Jim Nick-D (talk) 08:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
