I'll take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 00:22, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Prelim

 * Cockpit is a duplicated link
 * Fixed--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:05, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Article is stable
 * Images correctly licensed
 * Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

 * " only sinking"
 * "Fewer than half survived the war to be inventoried by the Allies after the war."

Background and description

 * Suggest linking the Action of 22 September 1914
 * "but only the forward observer could flown if a torpedo was carried" something missing here
 * A word or two on the configuration of the cockpits would be useful - you mention the forward observer cockpit but we aren't provided with the positions of the other to compare it with (it isn't clear from the images)

Operational history

 * "The mission was generally unsuccessful" not sure why "generally" is required here? Were any bombs dropped?
 * Was Saint-Pol-sur-Mer a military airfield? Probably worth noting
 * "the following evening" suggest adding the date here because it's been a while since the last was provided
 * "surprised two cargo ships" to avoid too many pairs
 * "caused one of the aircraft"
 * Link Operation Albion
 * Do we know exactly how the rescuing floatplane and crew were lost? Sounds like an interesting episode
 * I was confusing two separate incidents on that same day.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:49, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Did the commander die in a WD.11 related accident?
 * "action on 4 October later when two small minelayers"
 * Link Gotha WD.14
 * "The weather was generally not suitable"
 * Do we know whether the Dutch WD.11 was the rescue plane or the original craft that made the emergency landing? Might be worth mentioning that saga in a little more detail again here for context
 * This should be a little clearer now.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:49, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
