Some additional suggestions, that are not part of the GA Criteria and will not affect the promotion of the article whether they are addressed or not:
 * Some false precision in some of the metric-to-US conversions in the final paragraph.
 * The article could probably benefit from more details about the pilots.  John Denny is wikilinked in the opening paragraph but apparently he was quite a celebrity in the UK from being the first UK pilot to break the sound barrier.  I believe at least a couple of the anecdotes in the "crowd parted like the Red Sea" BBC article mentioned the star appeal of going to see Denny.
 * Same with the aircraft itself.  The article calls it a prototype which makes it seem new and experimental, maybe even a bit untested, but one of the references I checked, I think it was the Flight and Aircraft Engineer reference, had more details about the more than a hundred hours of test flights that the aircraft had undergone, including many supersonic transitions.
 * A couple of instances of overlinking that someone might come along an nitpick about, like needlessly linking to air shows and United Kingdom military aircraft serial numbers

That's all I have for now, thanks for the work on the article. RecycledPixels (talk) 19:06, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * - Let me know if you want to come back to this article, or whether I should decline for now. If you need more time, I'm fine with that, just let me know when you think you'll be able to come back to it.  RecycledPixels (talk) 07:00, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, yes, apologies for the delay. I've finally got round to locating some helpful sources for this so I'll aim to get to it some time over the weekend if that's ok.  Cheers, and thanks for the comprehensive review. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 08:21, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * hi, and thanks for your patience. I believe I've gone some way to addressing your concerns, could you let me know what you think so far and if anything else is needed to get it over the GA line?  Cheers. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 13:00, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

 * - Sorry about that, I've had some things going on on my end; now I'm back and trying to get caught up with things, so I'll get this wrapped up in the next couple of days. RecycledPixels (talk) 18:32, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem at all. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 18:33, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ugh. Took longer than I intended but I finally got some uninterrupted time to go through this again.  Great changes, especially the investigation section which explains things much better.   All issues addressed, GA Pass, nice job.  RecycledPixels (talk) 17:27, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
