Photograph shown looks more like the CA-4 (which flew already on September 19, 1941) than the CA-11 (Notice tail and canopy)Dirk P Broer 01:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you might be right; the tail does seem to be the same as a CA-4. The AWM often gets these details wrong. Anyway, this discussion would be more appropriate at Image talk:CAC Woomera (AC0150).jpg, and I am copying these posts there. Regards, Grant | Talk 01:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Abandoned or cancelled?

I changed the category of this page from Cancelled military aircraft projects to Abandoned military aircraft projects of Australia, which is a more specific category. The category was changed back on the grounds that "Abandoned" categories are for types that did not fly." However, this is untrue. Abandoned military aircraft projects of Australia includes CAC CA-15, Abandoned military aircraft projects of Canada includes Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow and Canadair CL-84, Abandoned military aircraft projects of Germany includes Dornier Do 19 and Focke-Wulf Ta 154, all of which flew.

Then this WP:OTHERSTUFF needs to be placed in the correct categories. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 06:34, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nacelle Guns

The nacelle guns, facing rearwards, caused intense vortices that buffeted the tail plane. At high speed it came close to damaging the empanage, and the guns were removed. A totally stupid idea anyway. Some one with exact ref can add this to the article.203.219.70.141 (talk) 07:11, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
