G'day, well done on getting this article to B-class. Very interesting (and hairy) service in the Falklands. I wanted to make some suggestions wrt improving the article towards GA.
Hope some of the above helps. Don't be shy if you need a hand with any of it? Regards, Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 12:38, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
This article currently includes photographs of 847 Naval Air Squadron aircraft. They are the Lynx AH.7 and Gazelle in 2002. Considering that there is a separate article for 847 NAS and this article need only give a brief mention and link to it, is does not seem necessary to leave those, particular photographs in this article. I suggest that the Lynx image be moved there, then, both images be deleted from this, 3 CBAS article. What do others think of this? Dreddmoto ( talk) 13:26, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Bye for now, the changes that you made to the captions were a good idea. They make this clear. There is just one more edit that should be made, to reflect the fact that Lynx AH.7s are no longer in 847 NAS service. They were replaced with Lynx AH.9As. Maybe it could be reworded as Former 3 CBAS Lynx AH.7, also formerly in service with 847 NAS? You could suggest a better wording, if you can think of one.

Regarding the Gazelle caption. I noticed that it was discussed in section 5 here /info/en/?search=Talk:Aérospatiale_Gazelle The consensus there that it was in Afghanistan, matched the caption for the same photo at http://www.eliteukforces.info/gallery/helicopters/gazelle-chf.php Dreddmoto ( talk) 14:38, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
Bye for now, there is a potential for ambiguity with the photographs because, unlike the rest of the Fleet Air Arm, aircraft of 847 NAS are marked with the words ROYAL MARINES, in capitals. This has been the case since 1995. This makes it important to make clear in the captions, which unit (3 CBAS or 847 NAS) and when, the aircraft in the photographs are from.

Either photograph is fine, for this article. They are both illustrative. The captions are good now. Maybe this, latest image could also be included in the 847 NAS article, while the previous one could be added to the History section of the Commando Helicopter Force article. What do you think? Dreddmoto ( talk) 18:11, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
I have not found a date for it but, it could have a caption like A Lynx Mk7 helicopter carrying commandos, while in service with the Commando Helicopter Force. Dreddmoto ( talk) 21:37, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
In the Formation section of this article, it mentions that "six, TOW-armed Westland Lynxes replaced the Scouts." It does not mention which Lynx variant. Can someone add that? Dreddmoto ( talk) 14:49, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
