While I'm sure it looks neat on the how to do lists, I wonder whether it is really user friendly to have the only catergorisation for the 10 or so aircraft manufactured in Zealand, being a series of clumsy bore down boxes click aircraft manufactuered in New Zealand, click Civil aircraft manufactured in New Zealand click aigricultural aircraft 1970-1979...I know that makes us kiwis look like we have a thriving aviation industry until you work out most of these boxes have only one entry - if that - but this lay out seems really more appropriate for the minority of nations who produce the majority of aircraft. If there is an irresistable urge to create these sub catergories by to comply with some Wiki policy, would it be okay to also leave all the aircraft as individual entries in a broad catergory, for more user friendly access?

Thanks for uploading Image:Fritz von Opel.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jahn.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — An gr 12:22, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

I have added a "{{

Type 4 Heavy Machine Gun, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I noticed that you are using the new {{ aerospecs}} template for adding specs to aircraft articles. One thing that it doesn't have that the old {aircraft specifications}} template had is a field for adding a reference - any chance of adding this? Nigel Ish 21:32, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey, likewise and nice to see you're still editing here. Unfortunately, in the case of the CASA C-101 photo I kept no record of the original image's licencing, nor do I know if or when EADS licencing policy changed. I can't imagine why I would've tagged the photo with that tag were the licence not correspondingly permissive, but I do have to admit that I was somewhat less diligent about Wikipedia's licencing rules when I first started out here (something I'm not particularly proud of). In any case, I think it's EADS' current policy that must stand, and therefore I think we're going to have to remove the image. A pity, really. — Impi 16:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Rlandmann, Bzuk here and the target? of some unusual comments by a new editor in the edit summaries of the Percival Mew Gull and other articles in which he/she has been contributing, as well as the editor's talk page. If you have noticed the back-and-forth edit summaries of this editor, there has been a continuing series of insinuations and taunts that is so out of proportion to the editorial changes that were actually made by myself (or others). I haven't come across anyone so knowledgable yet unwilling to accept criticism even for the smallest of errors- spelling, typos? BTW, I left two questions on the De Havilland Gipsy Six discussion page but I don't think this editor checks the talk pages, do you have any answers to these questions (as well as an answer to the rude and insulting commentary ;} )? BTW, I always find your work on aviation articles very cogent and helpful. Bzuk 12:08, 12 May 2007 (UTC).
The only reason I'm contributing , and on a deliberately very narrow specialist front, is because that's just what I happen to be informed about and I stick to the facts about those limited areas as I have them to hand. Bizarre? Obviously. It only came about because some of the misinformation on the Wiki' page was leaching out into the collective consciousness via the www. (It wasn't the only source, but it kept coming-up, as testament to Wiki's effectiveness.) Irritating stuff like the 'P6' tripe. I'm not precious about anything I've written, and I'm not particularly bothered if the whole shebang isn't Pulitzer-Prize material, - just so long as it's represents reality. Had I wished to go to town, I'd have re-written the whole thing from scratch, as what was there was merely a re-hash of cut and paste from elsewhere on the web, as so many articles are. I'm a contributor, not an 'Editor'. Non of my contributions are cut and paste. If folks want to paw over a few typos etc and 'Wikify'.... great, have fun. There is however, a world of difference between that, and what went on. Civility may be my middle name, but it certainly isn't 'dick'... but I wasn't the one doing the petty swapping. I was just sticking dogedly to the facts. I note the inclusion of the words 'obsession' and 'addictive' in the above paragraphs.....'Harrumph'...!
Am I new to Wiki? ; Yes. Am I going to contribute widely? ; No. Not enough time (Or patience!), and too much of an old curmudgeon who doesn't suffer fools gladly. I am now left to ponder just why 'seventy' years had to be dumbed-down to '70' years... Is Wiki' running short of space..?..... Sheeeesh... Well, at least I can't be accused of being a sycophant. (PontiusPilot.)
Why not create a template for Czech planes. Isn't the aviation topic template a little too generic?

Hi,
I was fixing incorrect forms of 'km/h' such as 'km/hr', 'kph', kmph, and 'kmh'. Unfortunately a lot of instances of 'kmh' are in aviation articles and can be attributed to the code in Template:Aerospecs. I know that the code is not visible to the reader but it make searches harder. It may also encourage the use of the wrong format by editors. Would it be possible to amend the code to add the slash? Thanks. Editore99 13:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:DFSlogo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

If you could help to identify the correct articles, all the better - Skysmith
Hi Rlandmann. Just so that I get this right for future reference; I'm guessing from the reverts that if there's not a specific article on the aircraft concerned, it stays on the list but the revert also stays, showing as a wikilink to the embedded reference in a generic article, until such time that there is a specific article? I was just wondering on some of the almost sub-variants, whether there will in fact ever be a justifiable article forthcoming? Wouldn't that mean they'll stay forevermore on the list? Still learning on all this and happy to listen to all advice; if I stick at this, I guess we'll find our paths crossing on the WWI aircraft thing, which is good, I think.

Thanks for letting me know there was even another project to consider. I put my note in Aviation because the article I noticed purported to be a part of the Aviation project but made no mention of Airlines. I'll note this and see if that's the consensus. Erechtheus 14:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi again - the only surviving Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker and Bellanca 31-55 Senior Skyrocket are both in Canadian museums. While I don't expect you to have photos of every aircraft preserved in Canada, I figure it always makes sense to ask locally first before looking further afield! :) (The copyright "rationale" attached to the image currently on the CH-300 page is dubious to say the least...) Thanks! -- Rlandmann 00:12, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I think I won't write on Bartel BM-1 Maryla, because it was only a sketch. Have you any references on Pallavicino PS-1? I wrote a short article by the Polish book, but I can't find any trace of such plane in the web, while I have a vague feeling, that it might be properly called Caproni PS-1... (By the way, I'm thinking about uploading photos of such planes, with unknown copyright status, to my home page, and making external links). I've also made a highly unprofessional article on Hollsmidt 222 - I liked the photo, but it's based upon some poorly translated page only. By the way2, is there any strict rule, that thumbnails must not have fixed width? Pibwl ←« 22:32, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi again - just a helpful hint with aircraft categories - the years in the classification are the decade of the aircraft's first flight, so for the T-35 first flown in 1948, the category is Category:U.S. military trainer aircraft 1940-1949. HTH! -- Rlandmann 01:33, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I think I may have a crack at some of these (i.e. the Bluebirds and possibly the B-2) as well as some of the odder Blackburns which aren't in the Jane's encyclopedia (but are mentioned in the Blackburn Wikipedia entry) such as the Blackburd and Cubaroo. Nigel Ish 19:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
I have just created some more articles from Wikipedia:Aircraft encyclopedia topics/2, only one Blackburn though, but I will leave the rest for Nigel Ish as above. I find that doing different types and articles in no particular order can be more interesting!. I will try and stick with topics/2 though! Following a link I have just noticed you asked somebody else to do the Berliner-Joyce P-16 - sorry I have just done that one! One question I looked at the Bird Innovator, this is a six-engined ! conversion of the PBY Catalina. There appears to have been only one do you think we should just sneak it into the PBY article?

M. Rlandmann, a curious and curiouser note for your behalf. I spotted some supposedly innocuous edits in this article under the "minor" editing notation (but without explanation) by a "newbie" editor. The amount of changes did alter the article somewhat and would, at the very least, warrant a major revision notation, but it was the kind of changes that tweaked my interest. They seemed for the most part to be stylistic and "good faith edits" but they did subtly change the context of the passages. I did a quick check back through some of the aforementioned editor's other "work" and found the same pattern. He edit/corrects the article in question in his own interpretation and in the Douglas DC-5 and de Havilland Hornet articles, for example, I found his changes alter the subtext of the submissions, not a lot but enough to change the actual context/intention of the original posting. Not a big deal for now, but keep an eye on this. FWIW Bzuk 14:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC).
Thanks for the note and the interest shown! I hope you don't regret it by the time you have read this lot!
There wasn't really one breakthrough moment, just an accumulation of information. One useful snippet came from a forum site [3]:
"PeterL18 November 2005, 11:47 PM Hello Please, explain to me system of designations of planes of firm Short. I do not understand.
What is it you do not understand? The most familiar designation, Short 184, was applied by the Royal Navy, not Shorts. The serial number of the first aircraft in the "class", in this example 184, was used by the Navy as type designator. There is a certain naval logic in the practice which extended to other manufacturers and was not restricted to Short Brothers, although, being almost exclusively a Naval contractor, it is perhaps more noticable in their products. Is this where your confusion arises?".
Then I came across the Smithsonian Institution Research Information System (SIRIS) entry on "Short Brothers UK" (start at [4], enter "Shorts" and follow the link). There I found answers to two problems which have bothered me - (1) this serial/type no. business and (2) why some aircraft are "Short xxxx" and others "Shorts yyyy":
Beginning with the 26th aircraft built at the Short Eastchurch and Rochester factories, the company issued constructor's numbers with an "S." prefix. In 1921 the company instituted a series of "Design Index" numbers (using the same "S." prefix), as well as several separate series of design numbers with "P.D.," "S.B.," "S.C.," and "S.D." prefixes.
The SIRIS entry for the Admiralty Type 74 ("Short S.69 Type Tractor Seaplane (RNAS 74 - 80))" is IMO incorrect; while it is true that 'constructor's numbers' were assigned from S.26 onwards, and also that the first Constructor's Number was S.69, these were not used by Shorts as type designations. Of course when only one aircraft of a given type was built (e.g. S.26) no confusion can arise! But for the Type 74 seven constructor's numbers were assigned (S.69 - S.75) and these were never referred to as "S.69s".
The entry in Barnes Appendix F - "Constructor's Numbers - Eastchurch and Rochester (1910-48)" provides the link:
S.69-75 Tr. S/p, N/F, 100 hp Gnome, RNAS 74-80
which I assume to mean "Tractor seaplane, non-folding wings, ..."
This information, combined with the forum info ("The serial number of the first aircraft in the "class", in this example 184, was used by the Navy as type designator"), identifies the Type 74 as the batch of 7 aircraft referred to by Barnes.
Incidentally (and confusingly!) the Admiralty Type 184 was also known as the "Short 184", but this is because the Admiralty Nos. 184 and 185 were reserved for the two prototypes when the order was placed, so the type number assigned was 184.
There is still a little more to be said about the Type 74: Winston Churchill (who as First Lord of the Admiralty quickly grasped the importance of air supremacy to the fleet) was taken up in RNAS no. 76 in 1914; also one of the Dundee aircraft was wrecked off Dundee in 1915 by Flight Commander Hans Acworth Bush RNAS (who had also successfully "forced landed" RNAS No.79 off Dundee earlier the same year). He failed to return from a bombing raid in the Gallipoli campaign in 1916.
It would be good to be able to identify the fates of all seven Type 74s. I haven't yet discovered which 4 aircraft took part in the Cuxhaven Raid, although it might by logical to assume that it was the entire Dundee flight, simply because four Type 74s took part and Dundee had (at the time!) four aircraft. There is a book about the Cuxhaven Raid which probably gives this information. I have got the names of all seven pilots and several observers (one of which was Erskine Childers, whose local knowledge of the area was instrumental in the planning of the raid), so I'll no doubt expand on that article one day!
I hope this wasn't too long-winded! -- TraceyR 22:04, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for coming to me with a question about the Hungarian language, I'm quite flattered. Unfortunately...Hungarian is only my third language, not my native language, and I don't speak it beyond a basic level yet. I tried Googling your KRG aircraft thing, but it didn't come up with anything. Sorry I can't be of more help--I will post some sort of notice on my userpage when I'm ready to take on small Hungarian-to-English translation tasks (English-to-Hungarian is an even farther way off still). In the meantime, you may be better served by posting a request on Wikipedia: Hungarian Wikipedians' notice board. Good luck, K. Lásztocska 01:51, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

While I'm sure it looks neat on the how to do lists, I wonder whether it is really user friendly to have the only catergorisation for the 10 or so aircraft manufactured in Zealand, being a series of clumsy bore down boxes click aircraft manufactuered in New Zealand, click Civil aircraft manufactured in New Zealand click aigricultural aircraft 1970-1979...I know that makes us kiwis look like we have a thriving aviation industry until you work out most of these boxes have only one entry - if that - but this lay out seems really more appropriate for the minority of nations who produce the majority of aircraft. If there is an irresistable urge to create these sub catergories by to comply with some Wiki policy, would it be okay to also leave all the aircraft as individual entries in a broad catergory, for more user friendly access?

Thanks for uploading Image:Jahn.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hey, likewise and nice to see you're still editing here. Unfortunately, in the case of the CASA C-101 photo I kept no record of the original image's licencing, nor do I know if or when EADS licencing policy changed. I can't imagine why I would've tagged the photo with that tag were the licence not correspondingly permissive, but I do have to admit that I was somewhat less diligent about Wikipedia's licencing rules when I first started out here (something I'm not particularly proud of). In any case, I think it's EADS' current policy that must stand, and therefore I think we're going to have to remove the image. A pity, really. — Impi 16:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Rlandmann, Bzuk here and the target? of some unusual comments by a new editor in the edit summaries of the Percival Mew Gull and other articles in which he/she has been contributing, as well as the editor's talk page. If you have noticed the back-and-forth edit summaries of this editor, there has been a continuing series of insinuations and taunts that is so out of proportion to the editorial changes that were actually made by myself (or others). I haven't come across anyone so knowledgable yet unwilling to accept criticism even for the smallest of errors- spelling, typos? BTW, I left two questions on the De Havilland Gipsy Six discussion page but I don't think this editor checks the talk pages, do you have any answers to these questions (as well as an answer to the rude and insulting commentary ;} )? BTW, I always find your work on aviation articles very cogent and helpful. Bzuk 12:08, 12 May 2007 (UTC).
The only reason I'm contributing , and on a deliberately very narrow specialist front, is because that's just what I happen to be informed about and I stick to the facts about those limited areas as I have them to hand. Bizarre? Obviously. It only came about because some of the misinformation on the Wiki' page was leaching out into the collective consciousness via the www. (It wasn't the only source, but it kept coming-up, as testament to Wiki's effectiveness.) Irritating stuff like the 'P6' tripe. I'm not precious about anything I've written, and I'm not particularly bothered if the whole shebang isn't Pulitzer-Prize material, - just so long as it's represents reality. Had I wished to go to town, I'd have re-written the whole thing from scratch, as what was there was merely a re-hash of cut and paste from elsewhere on the web, as so many articles are. I'm a contributor, not an 'Editor'. Non of my contributions are cut and paste. If folks want to paw over a few typos etc and 'Wikify'.... great, have fun. There is however, a world of difference between that, and what went on. Civility may be my middle name, but it certainly isn't 'dick'... but I wasn't the one doing the petty swapping. I was just sticking dogedly to the facts. I note the inclusion of the words 'obsession' and 'addictive' in the above paragraphs.....'Harrumph'...!
Am I new to Wiki? ; Yes. Am I going to contribute widely? ; No. Not enough time (Or patience!), and too much of an old curmudgeon who doesn't suffer fools gladly. I am now left to ponder just why 'seventy' years had to be dumbed-down to '70' years... Is Wiki' running short of space..?..... Sheeeesh... Well, at least I can't be accused of being a sycophant. (PontiusPilot.)

Hi,
I was fixing incorrect forms of 'km/h' such as 'km/hr', 'kph', kmph, and 'kmh'. Unfortunately a lot of instances of 'kmh' are in aviation articles and can be attributed to the code in Template:Aerospecs. I know that the code is not visible to the reader but it make searches harder. It may also encourage the use of the wrong format by editors. Would it be possible to amend the code to add the slash? Thanks. Editore99 13:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:DFSlogo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

I am ashamed for having tried to delete an article relating to my favorite subject on Wikipedia, aviation. I better check the timestamp next time :-) Good luck, and happy editing, Curran (talk) 23:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Must we strictly obey the rule, that an aircraft must go to the category, say 1930-1939, if it first flew in 1939, but was produced and used in the 1940s?... I've seen several articles with 1940-1949 category in such case, and I must say, I like it more. Pibwl ←« 20:35, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Rlandman. Thanks for your help per the comment on my Talk Page. Shows how much I know... I hadn't even thought of looking at the 'missing aircraft' section. I'll check it out and keep trundling on. Scoop100 08:32, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for the tip re missing Shorts aircraft. I have had the Rangoon in my sights but need some time for a concerted effort (don't we all!). I'm puzzled by the Shorts 74 in the list, though. I haven't found it in the Putnam 'bible'; I'll have a look on the web one of these days - I wonder what it is? TraceyR 07:58, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. This particulat list comes from various sources from military periodicals to aviation history books. I have mainly used the spellings in the original sources, but I do know that, for example, capitaliztion may differ considerable. If you could help to identify the correct articles, all the better - Skysmith
Hi Rlandmann. Just so that I get this right for future reference; I'm guessing from the reverts that if there's not a specific article on the aircraft concerned, it stays on the list but the revert also stays, showing as a wikilink to the embedded reference in a generic article, until such time that there is a specific article? I was just wondering on some of the almost sub-variants, whether there will in fact ever be a justifiable article forthcoming? Wouldn't that mean they'll stay forevermore on the list? Still learning on all this and happy to listen to all advice; if I stick at this, I guess we'll find our paths crossing on the WWI aircraft thing, which is good, I think.

I know I know, I've been meaning to get one...actually emailled PAC asking for permission to use one off their web site but got no reply.

I saw the new Sh.III article, but I am curious about the statement in the intro. I was under the impression that only the Gnomes (and their clones) that used the crankcase-mixing lacked a throttle, and that many others did have a throttle. Is this not the case? Yes, I realize the Gnomes and Le Rhone's numerically far outstripped everyone else put together, but I'm counting designs here. Maury 15:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Just created two articles for these two Bells under the military designations ( Bell R-12 and Bell HSL), not sure if you want re-directs from the company Model numbers so I have left them on the wanted list for now. MilborneOne 20:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
In case you hadn't noticed, the Schweizer 333 page is now live. I chose 333 instead of 330, as the 333 is still in production, and 330/333 is a bit non-standard for some editors. Btw, you seem to have a knack for finding hard-to-find pics, so do you think you could try to find some pics of the 330 and 333? Thanks. - BillCJ 19:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
I made a few changes to this article. I hope you don't mind. Bzuk 13:03, 13 June 2007 (UTC).
Hi Rlandmann, I fully intended to do a whole slew of Thomas-Morse articles. I want to do the PT-3 page first to compliment the O-17 page I just uploaded. Bellancas I don't have on my radar. My To-Do list is on my User page. It is nice to be recognised and sought after by a fellow editor. Thanks.-- Colputt 01:47, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Just trying to do some more Topics 2 aircraft and I am just looking at Culver. On the topics list is the Culver FCA is it possible to check with the source please. I suspect it might be the Culver Cadet LCA as I cant find any reference to the FCA. MilborneOne 20:54, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know there was even another project to consider. I put my note in Aviation because the article I noticed purported to be a part of the Aviation project but made no mention of Airlines. I'll note this and see if that's the consensus. Erechtheus 14:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi again - the only surviving Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker and Bellanca 31-55 Senior Skyrocket are both in Canadian museums. While I don't expect you to have photos of every aircraft preserved in Canada, I figure it always makes sense to ask locally first before looking further afield! :) (The copyright "rationale" attached to the image currently on the CH-300 page is dubious to say the least...) Thanks! -- Rlandmann 00:12, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I think I won't write on Bartel BM-1 Maryla, because it was only a sketch. Have you any references on Pallavicino PS-1? I wrote a short article by the Polish book, but I can't find any trace of such plane in the web, while I have a vague feeling, that it might be properly called Caproni PS-1... (By the way, I'm thinking about uploading photos of such planes, with unknown copyright status, to my home page, and making external links). I've also made a highly unprofessional article on Hollsmidt 222 - I liked the photo, but it's based upon some poorly translated page only. By the way2, is there any strict rule, that thumbnails must not have fixed width? Pibwl ←« 22:32, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi again - just a helpful hint with aircraft categories - the years in the classification are the decade of the aircraft's first flight, so for the T-35 first flown in 1948, the category is Category:U.S. military trainer aircraft 1940-1949. HTH! -- Rlandmann 01:33, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I think I may have a crack at some of these (i.e. the Bluebirds and possibly the B-2) as well as some of the odder Blackburns which aren't in the Jane's encyclopedia (but are mentioned in the Blackburn Wikipedia entry) such as the Blackburd and Cubaroo. Nigel Ish 19:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
I have just created some more articles from Wikipedia:Aircraft encyclopedia topics/2, only one Blackburn though, but I will leave the rest for Nigel Ish as above. I find that doing different types and articles in no particular order can be more interesting!. I will try and stick with topics/2 though! Following a link I have just noticed you asked somebody else to do the Berliner-Joyce P-16 - sorry I have just done that one! One question I looked at the Bird Innovator, this is a six-engined ! conversion of the PBY Catalina. There appears to have been only one do you think we should just sneak it into the PBY article?

M. Rlandmann, a curious and curiouser note for your behalf. I spotted some supposedly innocuous edits in this article under the "minor" editing notation (but without explanation) by a "newbie" editor. The amount of changes did alter the article somewhat and would, at the very least, warrant a major revision notation, but it was the kind of changes that tweaked my interest. They seemed for the most part to be stylistic and "good faith edits" but they did subtly change the context of the passages. I did a quick check back through some of the aforementioned editor's other "work" and found the same pattern. He edit/corrects the article in question in his own interpretation and in the Douglas DC-5 and de Havilland Hornet articles, for example, I found his changes alter the subtext of the submissions, not a lot but enough to change the actual context/intention of the original posting. Not a big deal for now, but keep an eye on this. FWIW Bzuk 14:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC).
Thanks for the note and the interest shown! I hope you don't regret it by the time you have read this lot!
There wasn't really one breakthrough moment, just an accumulation of information. One useful snippet came from a forum site [3]:
"PeterL18 November 2005, 11:47 PM Hello Please, explain to me system of designations of planes of firm Short. I do not understand.
What is it you do not understand? The most familiar designation, Short 184, was applied by the Royal Navy, not Shorts. The serial number of the first aircraft in the "class", in this example 184, was used by the Navy as type designator. There is a certain naval logic in the practice which extended to other manufacturers and was not restricted to Short Brothers, although, being almost exclusively a Naval contractor, it is perhaps more noticable in their products. Is this where your confusion arises?".
Then I came across the Smithsonian Institution Research Information System (SIRIS) entry on "Short Brothers UK" (start at [4], enter "Shorts" and follow the link). There I found answers to two problems which have bothered me - (1) this serial/type no. business and (2) why some aircraft are "Short xxxx" and others "Shorts yyyy":
Beginning with the 26th aircraft built at the Short Eastchurch and Rochester factories, the company issued constructor's numbers with an "S." prefix. In 1921 the company instituted a series of "Design Index" numbers (using the same "S." prefix), as well as several separate series of design numbers with "P.D.," "S.B.," "S.C.," and "S.D." prefixes.
The SIRIS entry for the Admiralty Type 74 ("Short S.69 Type Tractor Seaplane (RNAS 74 - 80))" is IMO incorrect; while it is true that 'constructor's numbers' were assigned from S.26 onwards, and also that the first Constructor's Number was S.69, these were not used by Shorts as type designations. Of course when only one aircraft of a given type was built (e.g. S.26) no confusion can arise! But for the Type 74 seven constructor's numbers were assigned (S.69 - S.75) and these were never referred to as "S.69s".
The entry in Barnes Appendix F - "Constructor's Numbers - Eastchurch and Rochester (1910-48)" provides the link:
S.69-75 Tr. S/p, N/F, 100 hp Gnome, RNAS 74-80
which I assume to mean "Tractor seaplane, non-folding wings, ..."
This information, combined with the forum info ("The serial number of the first aircraft in the "class", in this example 184, was used by the Navy as type designator"), identifies the Type 74 as the batch of 7 aircraft referred to by Barnes.
Incidentally (and confusingly!) the Admiralty Type 184 was also known as the "Short 184", but this is because the Admiralty Nos. 184 and 185 were reserved for the two prototypes when the order was placed, so the type number assigned was 184.
There is still a little more to be said about the Type 74: Winston Churchill (who as First Lord of the Admiralty quickly grasped the importance of air supremacy to the fleet) was taken up in RNAS no. 76 in 1914; also one of the Dundee aircraft was wrecked off Dundee in 1915 by Flight Commander Hans Acworth Bush RNAS (who had also successfully "forced landed" RNAS No.79 off Dundee earlier the same year). He failed to return from a bombing raid in the Gallipoli campaign in 1916.
It would be good to be able to identify the fates of all seven Type 74s. I haven't yet discovered which 4 aircraft took part in the Cuxhaven Raid, although it might by logical to assume that it was the entire Dundee flight, simply because four Type 74s took part and Dundee had (at the time!) four aircraft. There is a book about the Cuxhaven Raid which probably gives this information. I have got the names of all seven pilots and several observers (one of which was Erskine Childers, whose local knowledge of the area was instrumental in the planning of the raid), so I'll no doubt expand on that article one day!
I hope this wasn't too long-winded! -- TraceyR 22:04, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for coming to me with a question about the Hungarian language, I'm quite flattered. Unfortunately...Hungarian is only my third language, not my native language, and I don't speak it beyond a basic level yet. I tried Googling your KRG aircraft thing, but it didn't come up with anything. Sorry I can't be of more help--I will post some sort of notice on my userpage when I'm ready to take on small Hungarian-to-English translation tasks (English-to-Hungarian is an even farther way off still). In the meantime, you may be better served by posting a request on Wikipedia: Hungarian Wikipedians' notice board. Good luck, K. Lásztocska 01:51, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that was my work. I have long been interested (and amused) at the near disaster to Naval Aviation posed by the T40 and J40 programs.
I studied Aeronautical Engineering and minored in History.
I am very scrupulous about copyrights and attribution.
I am just learning how to edit Wikipedia, so please bear with any awkwardness. Advice welcomed. Thanks.
