Following on from Lou Spence, another Royal Australian Air Force wing commander who fought in the Korean War and seemed destined for the top but died too soon. This bio was on my list for some time, the impetus to complete it being 1960s images becoming available to use, and my discovery of a detailed article on the circumstances of the subject's death. A New Zealand-born RAAF pilot, Drummond survived close calls in Korea and in Vietnam only to die mysteriously in a training exercise off the Australian coast – or perhaps not so mysteriously; the evidence from the court of inquiry may offer a cautionary tale for high achievers everywhere... Thanks to participants in the article's MilHist A-Class Review a few months back, and in advance to all who comment here. Cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 07:41, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
I reviewed this article at Milhist ACR last year, and could find precious little to quibble about then. I've looked at the minor tweaks since, and I consider it meets the Featured criteria. I also looked at the sources at that point, and concluded they are all of high quality and reliable, and there are no formatting issues. No spotchecks conducted, as the main contributor has an impeccable reputation at FAC. Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 08:07, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
Fair enough, but the article says "possibly knocked his control column forward". But you now say that the report definitively found that he was careless. So why this "possibly"?
Just these minor quibbles. A fine, solid article.
