I've removed the sentence saying "it later emerged he was a victim of bureaucracy: he had been turned away simply because the Royal Navy had used up its quota of press passes. [1]".
This is presenting the Royal Navy claim as fact - Don McCullin and others (e.g his former editor) certainly still believe he was turned away for political reasons. It's certainly overstating the case to say definitively that he was "a victim of bureaucracy". In any case, I had a look at the citation and the link is broken, so I've taken it out until someone can find a better citation.

I have just made a change to the article relating to his failure of written theory in the RAF - it is a referance to this article - though the particular part of the article is not on the website, I do however have a physical copy of it. Is there any way to referance this?
Sorry not to sure of how to go about this yet.
Here is the quote from the newspaper: "When I was in the RAF I was sent to a photographic unit, doing aerial intelligence, but I failed my trade test to become a photographer because I couldn't read the written theory. So I left the RAF as a failed photographer."—Preceding unsigned comment added by TheNobGoblin ( talk • contribs)

The statement that his camera "stopped a bullet intended for him", as well as needing citation, seems rather strong as it implies deliberate targeting. Was the bullet really "intended for him" or did he just happen to be on its trajectory? Where was he when this happened? Dricherby 17:05, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I have added a link to a video in which the artist talks about some of his work outside of war correspondence. I think it is an interesting look into a part of his photography practice that is less well-known. And it is interesting that McCullin does not see himself as a war photograper.
