Hmm, A-Class, A-Class... Let's see if I can remember how this goes... Oh, yes, my second RAAF wing nomination, following
No. 82 last year. This one isn't quite as glamorous as the other, being transport rather than strike (although it did start out as an attack wing in WWII), but on the other hand it's probably the hardest-working formation in the RAAF, because practically no military deployment can operate without it. Not quite as long an article as No. 82's either, but then this wing was disbanded from 1964 to 1987 (you'll find the reasoning in the article), whereas No. 82 has -- uniquely I believe -- been in continuous existence since WWII. The article's recently passed GA, so pls have at it... ;-)

Support Can't see anything wrong with it. However: I can see at a glance that the 86 Wing crest dates back to before 1953, and so is out of copyright in Australia. If it was used in WWII, then no fair use rationale is required. Hawkeye7 ( talk) 10:10, 23 April 2013 (UTC) reply
