Re WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME re Iraqi Air Force squadrons; I've got hold of another gold-standard source which you will see I've referenced at No. 3 Squadron IqAF and List of Iraqi Air Force aircraft squadrons. Both several books by Tom Cooper, and this Israeli intelligence analyst Malovany make clear that Iraqi squadrons were designated by ordinals (3rd) rather than cardinals (No. 3) in line with Commonwealth practice. In line with WP:MILMOS#UNITNAME I believe we should reflect that, and thus I am going to move them to '3rd Squadron' rather than 'No. 3 Squadron'. Since you were the original creator though and put some hard work into creating the articles in the first place, I thought I would drop a courtesy note to you. Hope that's all clear.
