RAAF Transport Flight (Japan)

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that when RAAF Transport Flight (Japan)'s last C-47 departed Iwakuni in 1956, it left ground staff and Flight Lieutenant Raleigh, a small dog who liked flying and had been at the base since 1945?

• Reviewed: Gussie Nell Davis
• Comment: Note that I'd prefer to have used the standard Commonwealth term "Dakota" instead of C-47, but that would take the word count to over 200... :-(

5x expanded by Ian Rose (talk). Self-nominated at 09:55, 1 June 2016 (UTC).

• New enough (5x now, expansion began 7 edits ago on 27 May 2016), long enough (4,266 characters "readable prose size"), fully referenced. Hook fine, verified against online source, 195 characters. QPQ done. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:09, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
