B class review notes

B class confirmed by human reviewer. There is one comment. Djmaschek (talk) 19:55, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disposal section, last sentence: "However, as no original aircraft as used by the RNZAF survive..." I did not edit this because it's not wrong, but merely awkward sounding. Suggest: "However, as no original aircraft used by the RNZAF survive..." or "However, since no original aircraft as used by the RNZAF survive..."

Background

Entire section is unnecessary. The history of the development of the P-51 is covered in detail on the P-51 page. Mztourist (talk) 08:29, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. The background section has been revised to remove the overwhelming majority of the development discussion. What remains is to give context for the type of aircraft that the P-51 was, and its usage by the air forces of other nations. Zawed (talk) 08:43, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably a problem in Orange

"Taieri Station" is not correct. The correct designation for the installation would have been "RNZAF Station Taieri," and Checketts might well have been CO 4 Squadron in addition. Heads-up and thankyou for all your hard work Zawed. Buckshot06 (talk) 01:48, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See for example https://search.worldcat.org/title/station-history-rnzaf-station-taieri/oclc/152398151. Orange did not necessarily know the correct designations. Buckshot06 (talk) 01:50, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
