I have a few relatively minor writing issues, should be easy to fix or clarify.
 * should sergeant (in Training) be more specifically linked (e.g. to Flight sergeant)?
 * No, the link is correct. Flight Sergeant is the rank above it. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * "Foskett disembarked at Southern Rhodesia during January 1941" -- it did not take him most of January 1941 to disembark ("during"==>"in"). This is an example; you should check all uses of "during", because it's right in some places, wrong in others.
 * Done. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You missed a few, I took care of them.  Magic ♪piano 14:37, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * "ensuring" ==> "ensuing" in a few places.
 * Sorry, I'm a terrible speller. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Is the OBE an award or an appointment? This is mostly just an ignorant Yankee question, but the word currently used is "appointed".
 * Either can be implemented. The OBE is an order to which one can be appointed and awarded. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for the edukashun.  Magic ♪piano 14:37, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
