in the Bibliography, the Jones source doesn't appear to be specifically cited -- is there something in this that should be added to the article? If not, I'd suggest maybe moving it to a Further reading section, or probably just removing it altogether
citation # 26 - I'm 100 per cent that this meets the RS requirements. I see it does cite its sources and I do know a couple of the contributors, and know that they are knowledgeable on the topics. Thoughts?
Yes, agreed. A search of
Google Books shows a few cases where it's been used as a reference for professionally published works, so I think that WP:RS is met. I've always found it to be an accurate source. I've added a little bit more from this source.

Happy with that -- it seems authoritative for the information it is citing. By the way, that's a nifty search function. I'm not sure if I've seen that before.

No worries, thanks for your work on the article. Interestingly, I got to climb inside a Tracker (static on display) once when I was at Nowra for parachute training many years ago. Much smaller than I would have thought. Some of our relatives are coming down from interstate, but I'm on call with work so may have to head off interstate myself at short notice. Happy to go, though, as there are many people out there who need a break. Hope you have a safe and happy Christmas. Regards,

Thanks again. I was surprised at how small the preserved cockpit of the Tracker in the Fleet Air Arm Museum was when I saw it a few years ago. I hope that you don't end up being called on, and have a restful Christmas.
