Another of my older RAAF bios that passed GAN and MilHist ACR but which I felt just needed a little more work before nominating for FAC. Not a Chief of the Air Staff this time, but a quiet achiever who didn't quite make it to the top job, deserving as he may have been... Any and all comments welcome!

  • Support I supported this article when it was nominated for A class, and think that the FA criteria are now met. I do have a couple of comments on elements of the wording through:
    • "transporting the squadron 300 miles away" sounds a bit odd, and it makes it sound like he personally moved all the unit's equipment. 'Deploying the squadron 300 miles away' or similar might work better.
    • 'Aust. Govt. Pub. Service' - this should be either spelled out fully or abbreviated to AGPS. Nick-D (talk) 07:00, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
