Talk:Comet Line

Deletion of Death section

There is a page dedicated to Countess de Jonghe, which includes the same text in an appropriate place. Many people, some known, most unknown, worked for Comet and died dreadful deaths as a result: it is wrong to focus on just one, and in particular not on its leader. This editor is close to the remaining family of Maurice, the Brussels doctor, who have his wartime diary: the Comet Line is still privately honoured at its source, as well as in the Pyrenees.

New reference

(My first ever wikipedia post so be gentle)

The book "Wavetops at My Wingtips: Flying with RAF Bomber and Coastal Commands in World War II (Hardcover)" by Leslie Baveystock eloquently describes his own escape from Belgium early in the war via the comet line. Note that Leslie Bavestock references the book, Little Cyclone, by Airey Neave [[1]].

Flt Lt Leslie Baveystock DSO DFC* DFM flew second pilot aboard a Bomber Command Avro Manchester on the first 1000 bomber raid [[2]], was forced to jump and escaped occupied territory, via the comet line. His pilot, Leslie Manser [[3]], was postumously awarded the VC, after his unselfish deeds were reported by his returning crew.

If de Jonghe was born in 1916 she was older than 20 when she started getting involved in escapes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.68.7.32 (talk) 05:44, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

In the section Creation and Exploits, paragraph 3, the name 'Neave' is used without prior mention. Only in the reading list do we find out who he is. Would it not be better to have a link on his name to the page about him? He was a significant figure in British politics for many years after the war. Additionally, addressing him as just 'Neave' on this first mention is contrary to established Wikipedia custom. J6m8h41 (talk) 00:08, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
