I beleive that the latter three paragraphs of this article are copies, almost verbatim, of material on the reference site: " http://www.dover-kent.co.uk/history/ww1a_dover_patrol.htm", that is currently marked "© 2000 - 2010 www.dover-kent.co.uk". The bulk of the article thus appears to have been in breach of copyright since first creation in June 2007.
I'm surprised that no one has noticed this before so perhaps I've missed some agreement that the source material can be used in this way? If this is not the case, then I suspect that the article ought to be flagged for rapid deletion on these grounds but not knowing the procedure for this, I propose instead to rewrite the article with material extracted (but not copied) from other sources.

A completely fresh draft of this article (apart from the final Memorial paragraph which still needs expanding) is offered at User_talk:Inspeximus/Dover_Patrol for comment. All references are unfortunately from a single and partial source, the two volumes of the work entitled "Dover Patrol 19150-1917" by Sir Reginald Bacon, which I've tried to handle appropriately.
I'm aware that the role of the force needs to be extended, as does the section on the operations; notably in the context of the raids on Ostende and Zeebrugge in 1918. No doubt a whole host of other improvements, additions, correction and deletions are also required. At best I hope that this might be considered as the basis for a starter replacement article, at worst that it might at least stimulate a debate as to what a replacement article might look like.
N.B. References have not yet been converted to Wikipedia format, neither have any wiki-links been applied as yet.
