... that the 1944 SCR-720 radar was used only briefly by the USAAF, but was a primary RAF system into the late 1950s? Source: different sources for RAF and Navy, but the aircraft in question all left front-line service between 1959 and 1961.

First two paragraphs of "in service" section do not appear to be cited. I have to AGF on many references since I do not have access to the books, but the citation from the second paragraph is cited to a PDF which does not relate and the first paragraph is not cited.

@Bruxton: Both fixed. Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:16, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Maury Markowitz: Sorry I am so late getting back here! Interesting article, and hook. The image is free and also interesting to me. I love those old WWII era aircraft. I do not see any obvious copyright violations, but I cannot access some references. You have completed a QPQ, and the article is new enough and at 25,537 characters, it is long enough. Note: I think we need to pout some projects on the talk page. Bruxton (talk) 03:44, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
