GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)

1. It is reasonably well written:

   Dup links, dab links and external links all show no problems. Copyvio is green.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable:

   Source spotchecks Refs 5, 10 and 18 all back up what's cited in the text.

3. It is broad in its coverage:

   Not yet

   • Civil government and support squadron -- Any number on unit size or how large a squadron like this would typically have been?

   • Information is scant on this period and I haven't been able to find any figures on the establishment. Kges1901 (talk) 00:28, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

   • "The squadron was reformed a year later" -- Was it assigned a location?

   • No, there appears to not have been much thought given to it other than assigning a number. Kges1901 (talk) 12:16, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

   • Consistency: One mention of "1000 hours" and "2,300 miles" in a graph. Just be consistent about comma usage in numerals.

   • Made consistent. Kges1901 (talk) 20:41, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

   • Convert template needed for aforementioned miles, whichever measure is most appropriate in this context.

   • Added convert temp. Used miles because this was pre-metric in Commonwealth countries. Kges1901 (talk) 21:34, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

   • Bomber Squadron -- Same question on size (if there's a typical size for units like this at the time, can be a footnote)

   • Added a personnel strength figure. Kges1901 (talk) 00:25, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

   • "A No. 3 (Bomber Reconnaissance) Squadron was ordered organized on 1 June 1943, but the order was swiftly cancelled." -- Was there context for this move by chance? A need at the time for more bomber units?

   • Added details. Kges1901 (talk) 00:25, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy:

   Pass No problems there.

5. It is stable:

   Pass No problems there.

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:

   Pass Six images tagged as PD where appropriate.

7. Other:

   On hold Pending a few fixes. —Ed!^(talk) 16:58, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
