I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:04, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * No DABs, external link checker chokes as usual on gov.au weblinks, but spot checks worked just fine.
 * No duplicate links.
 * I presume that the CMU was disbanded after transferring its aircraft, but you need to say as much.
 * I presume the same, but transferring away its aircraft is all the source says.
 * Is there anything available on the history of the CMUs that could tell us when it was disbanded?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:51, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Nah, that would be too easy. The unit operations book hasn't been digitised but the main reference, Units of the RAAF, was based on such sources (I know, I wrote a few of them as a volunteer, but not EFTSs/CMUs) so I suspect the bit about transferring its a/c away may simply have been the last entry. I don't think it's as important a date as the disbandment/re-formation of the EFTS, since that's the article's focus. Cgheers, Ian Rose (talk) 01:18, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree, so maybe the think to do is to simply delete the bit about the CMU transferring its aircraft away as that's like an unresolved musical chord.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:00, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Well I felt that might be going a little far as it at least gives an idea of when it likely completed operations. I'll also ask Nick if he can check a resource the Australian War Memorial holds that gives many disbandment dates for wartime units, though of course that may take time.

 * If that's what you'd prefer to do, then that's fine. I'm in no rush. We just need to either complete the CMU info or delete.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:41, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Obviously we'll try this last avenue to complete the CMU info, but regardless of whether it turns up a definite disbandment date or not, I don't think it helps to delete the information about the CMU disposing of its aircraft, for these reason I've given above -- the info in the WP article is accurately reflecting what's provided in an officially sanctioned unit history. Of course if I'm not able to persuade you on that point, and you consider it a stopper to GA, I'd be happy for us to seek a second opinion... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 14:22, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * In April, shortly before its disbandment, No. 3 EFTS transferred its instructors, students and Wackett Trainers to No. 11 EFTS. Rephrase this to say that it absorbed No. 3 EFTS as I misread this the first time.
 * Okay.
 * and seriously injuring the pilot Aren't the pilot and the instructor the same?
 * Almost certainly in this case, given the pilot's rank, but again the source doesn't make this explicit. I don't suppose anyone would pull me up it I extrapolated a tiny bit, WDYT? ;-)
 * Did the school receive Wacketts again after the upgrades?
 * Doesn't say so in the unit history. Given that, according to the accident reports, the unit was still flying Tiger Moths in 1944, I assume not (the Wacketts when upgraded may have been earmarked for another school for all we know)...
 * Tks for reviewing, mate. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 08:28, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Is the review completed? Looks like there was just the one hangup and no notes since, so this seems ready for closing. Wizardman 04:11, 9 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Echoing Wizardman's query, nearly two weeks later. Will ping Sturmvogel 66's talk page in the hopes this can be wrapped up now, or at least have a statement of what's left to do. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:31, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Since no more comments are forthcoming, I'm closing this. Wizardman  18:33, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Tks guys, I think this edit in fact resolved Storm's last concern and I thought I'd mentioned it here but if so I obviously didn't hit save... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 21:34, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
 * That would indeed suffice.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:03, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
