Yes, you're right. In simple terms the Militia (United Kingdom) regiments were affilated to Line regiments under the Cardwell Reforms and became numbered battalions of them (3rd, sometimes 4th as well) under the Childers Reforms. Under the Haldane Reforms they became the Special Reserve, tasked with supplying reinforcements to the Regular battalions. Although they remained legally in existence until 1953, most of them only had a shadowy existence after WWI (except in Northern Ireland where the Territorial Force/Territorial Army did not exist until 1938). There are still odds and ends left in some reserve engineer and signal units.
The page you mentioned seems to be firmly post-WWII, but I could see if I can devise a short pre-1945 history summary, pointing to the other historical pages for details. CheersRickfive (talk) 10:03, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

I wanted to spin off the Egyptian Army's History into a separate article. I can do it myself no problem, but I just wanted your opinion before I did so. We have a ancient egyptian military history article already but not one for a modern. I'd like to incorporate all of the other smaller corps articles' histories into it. If we were to do it, it would likely result in a large part of the main egyptian army article being moved. - AH (talk) 20:53, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
I see what you mean! Ideally, 140th should be a subsection of the 5th London Artillery from 1860 onwards (yet to be done), but there is too much material here for that. I note that there is also an incorrect redirect in existence for the parent regiment (92nd (5th London) Fd Rgt). There is a certain amount of source material around for the 5th London Artillery, so I'll promote it up my 'to do' list and see if I can straighten the whole thing out, with a link pointing to the 140th page and a corrected 92nd page or redirect. In the meantime, I'll see what I can do to bring the 140th page into line.Rickfive (talk) 09:29, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

The source used in my article regarding the Order of Battle of the Indonesian National Armed Forces as of January 1946 came from the Wikipedia Indonesian article id:Tentara Keamanan Rakyat, regarding the list of formations of the Indonesian military as of 1946, as wel as their commanding officers and respective areas of operations. Regarding the other article I made about the Military Institute of Physical Culture, I express any apologies made for any mistakes committed in creating said article. Hope for your understanding. - JMRAMOS0109 (talk) 03:24, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
being obstructive. I am just beyond caring and beyond illusions that the editing policy will change for the better. I have started some years ago making edits in the Bulgarian section of Wikipedia in the areas I am competent in - politics, history, political geography, somewhat military matters and law enforcement. I started doing it, because the articles were written very poorly, clearly by people without the slightest idea about those things. After a year I gave up. I had so many other things to write about, but it was pointless. The military, history and politics articles were ruined by the changes made by "well established" entrenched editors with interests mostly in economics and literature. I gave up more than three years ago. To this day nothing new has been written on these subjects, yet several times a month my articles get pointless edits - a word here and there, that do not contribute one tiny bit to make them more comprehensive or to clarify something. More to the point they get pushed around several times a year from one category to another, as if that makes any sense. The content of the articles stays the same and yet it is as if they mutate somehow. I actually know competent and knowledgable people, who have edited articles in the past and who have been pushed away by the same entrenched editors. A friend of mine is one of the biggest contributors of historic photographs to the Naval Museum in Varna. When people at the museum are uncertain about something from our naval or merchant marine history, they consult him. He has stopped making edits a long time ago. Another friend of mine works at the historic museum in my home city. He is a member of our historic reenactment society. He is also in charge of the international cooperation with foreign museums and travels a lot to countries in the region. He has also stopped editing for the same reason.
The same thing is going on in the English Wikipedia. A ton of editors constantly making cosmetic edits, just to inflate their number of contributions and as a result participation trophies are being handed around hand over fist in the form of medal for this and medal for that. JMRAMOS and editors like him illustrate that pretty well, but that's the tip of the iceberg. The vast majority of his edits are pointless, substituting a word or two for another. A substantial number of the rest of his edits are really disruptive, making changes that actually divert the meaning of things. Edits, that contradict the whole point of Wikipedia. The whole idea is to make people familiar with practices, traditions, knowledge both from other countries and those that are globally recognised. The point is to explain them, not to compress them in one uniform mould. I can give you only three examples off the top of my head, to illustrate my words, but there are countless more.
He changes the position of "Commander" of military education institutions in the Soviet Union, Russia and Eastern European countries to "Superintendant". This is not a more appropriate wording. It is WRONG wording, that changes the facts. In the countries, which followed the organisation traditions of the Soviet military these institutions the role of cadred divisions in peacetime, which was just as important as their primary role to produce officers for the armed forces. The plans for their transformation into combat divisions or brigades upon mobilisation were well established in advance. Just to give you an example within three days of enacting full mobilisation the Higher Combined Arms Military School in my home city (the predecessor of the current National Defence University in Veliko Tarnovo) was to convert into the 82nd Motor Rifle Division. In peacetime the division existed on paper, but its operational plans were frequently overhauled, the officer cadre (the lecturers at the higher military school) familiarised itself with them and those officers received a substantial increase in pay for the wartime positions, they were planned to take over. These officers even occasionally addressed one another not by their ranks or by "Colleague", but by their wartime positions, as a practical joke. Even after the countries of the former Warsaw Pact other than the USSR have re-orientated towards the West and have reformed their armed forces along NATO lines, the title of Commander of a military school was retained out of tradition. We don't have university superintendents, we don't have provosts. Even the governing bodies of our higher military schools and our Military Academy are LITERALLY called 'commands' and the officer in charge of such institution is officially designated "Chief of the..." ('началник', [nachalnik], the same word as the Czech and Croatian 'načelnik').
The way he changes "Higher Military School" to "Academy" willy-nilly is just as wrong and ridiculous. There may be no clearly established distinction between those terms in the US, but there is in many other countries, Eastern European countries included. I will give you an example with my country, but it is the same way with other former Warsaw Pact member countries too. This scale has been retained to date. - training center - the lowest level - basic, tactical and specialist training for conscripts and specialists - school - like a Sergeant college - it gave the opportunity for school students to graduate their high school education in a military high school, receive the rank of a Sergeant and pursue a professional career in the armed forces or to continue their officer training at a higher military school. The Bulgarian language has two different words for school, which are synonymous, but the military uses them distinctively to underline the difference between its educational institutions. The first word is 'shkola' ('школа') and it is a direct transplant from the Greek 'Σχολείο', Latin 'schola', Italian 'scuola', Spanish 'escuela', French 'école', German 'Schule', English 'school', Nordic 'skole', Polish 'szkola' etc. These schools were officially designated Sergeant School ('сержантска школа' [serzhantska shkola]). They were gradually phased out in the 1990s and today our military is professional, so in order to distinguish the military high school institutions of the past from the professional NCO training institutions of the present, today sergeants are trained at a Sergeant College ('сержантски колеж' [serzhantski kolezh]). - higher military school - officer training school - the military counterpart of a civilian university, which high school graduates enter after successfully passing exams. In this case the other Bulgarian word for school is used, namely 'uchilishte' ('училище'). This in turn corresponds with the same word in Czech, Slovak, Serbian, Croatian etc. - 'učilište'. It is exactly the same word, with the same meaning, pronunciation ('uchilishte'), writing, when you take transliteration into account. Upon graduation the officer candidates are promoted to first lieutenants. There was a specific distinction among the officer schools too. There was a Reserve Officers School in Pleven. As military service was compulsory, a high school male graduate could postpone it if he proceeded to study at a civil university. After he completed the university degree, he had three choices to serve his term in the military - 1) as a regular conscript (the worst option, as there were no benefits), 2) to attend half a year in training at a special officer training faculty embeded in a civil university (similar to officer training at a British university) and after the completion of this training he is promoted to FIRST lieutenant and enters active service as an officer or 3) spend a year in training at the ROS in Pleven, after which he is promoted to SECOND lieutenant, gets assigned to the reserves and pursues a civilian job. So to distinguish that officer school from the others, the regular officer schools were designated Higher Military School ('висше военно училище', [visshe voenno UCHILISHTE]) and this one was designated School for Reserve Officers ('школа за запасни офицери', [SHKOLA za zapasni ofitseri]). You can see this naming convention in Poland. The Poles previously followed the Russian tradition and trained their officers at institutions designated "Higher Officer School" ('Wyszca Szkola Oficerska', as their language lacks two synonymous words for 'school', they explicitly include 'Officer School' in the designation). They have recently turned to the Western style of designation and have changed the names of those institutions to "Academy" ('Akademia'). No reorganisation, no change of purpose, just a change in the official designation. - military academy - the higher level of officer education - you cannot reach the rank of major without completing a Master's degree in Strategic command at the Military Academy. The 'Command Staff College' or 'War School' or whatever other equivalent in other countries is the "Command [and] Staff Faculty" ('Факултет „Командно-щабен“') of our Military Academy. So to the uneducated American it makes perfect sense to just substitute "Military Academy" with "Command Staff College", but this is totally wrong and as you see it turns a rigid established system upside down. And the reason why different levels of military education institutions have a rigid order, because they correspond to the civil education institutions. A military Sergeant College corresponds to a civilian college. A Higher Military School corresponds to a civilian university. The Military Academy corresponds to higher Doctor and Professor programmes at the civilian universities and at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. So the same way we have the civilian education path of: college -> university -> academy, we have the military education path of: Sergeant School -> Higher Military School -> Military Academy. So we don't have an equivalent of, say "Trinity College of Oxford University" or "Harvard Business School" or "London School of Economics". 'School' is one thing, 'college' is another, 'university' is a third thing and 'academy' is a whole different thing. You cannot just willy-nilly substitute one for the other whatever you feel like, because you totally change the meaning. WHo cares what the naming convention in the US is, when the subject matter is NOT EVEN CLOSELY RELATED to the US?! I am so sick and tired of his constant nonsense, that I don't see any point in even trying to rectify it.
His utter nonsense to rename Soviet air regiments to air wings is painfully ignorant. The only thing in common between a US air wing and a Soviet air regiment is that both fly aircraft. A USAF wing is in a sense a combined arms formation. It has its own Headquarters, its own Operations Division, Meteo, ATC services, the airfield engineer, logistics, radar and signals, security units are organic to the air wing. An air regiment DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THAT. First of all, it's not a formation, it's a unit. Even a tank or a motor rifle regiment in the Soviet Army was combined arms with its own artillery, air defence, engineers etc. The Soviet air regiment included the regimental command, the pilots, the aircraft and skeleton ground crew. That was it! It did not have operational authority. The only autonomy the commander had was in the manner in which he would execute the tasks, given to him by the respective air division. The ground crews were limited to regular flight operations ground support and very limited repairs. More serious repairs were done outside of the air regiment. The airfield engineer battalion or company was completely separate from it. The radar and signals battalion or company was completely separate from it. The airfield security company was completely separate from it. Medical services were completely separate from it. Logistical units were completely separate from it. These might have been based at the same airfield, but reported to the respective higher authority - an air division or an air corps and the air regiment commander had absolutely no authority over them whatsoever. EVEN the trucks which launched the engines, the trucks which brought the armament and the tankers which refueled the aircraft were completely separate from the air regiment, attached to it from the air division.
You are British, right? So imagine he starts editing the articles about the British Armed Forces: - AAC Regiment? Nah, I'm changing it to 'Army Helicopter Battalion'. - 22 SAS? Let's make it '22nd Special Forces Detachment (United Kingdom)'. Yeah, that's so much better! - Armoured infantry? There ain't no tanks in it! I'm changing it to mechanised infantry. - RAF Marham? What's that? A station? Like a train station? What? That doesn't make any sense. Let's make it Marham AFB, which houses the 138th Fighter Wing (138th FW). So much better and clear now! Etc., etc., etc.
That is exactly what he has been doing all this time, regarding articles about institutions in countries he clearly knows nothing about. I just find the arrogance of someone feeling that confident to correct other people in areas, in which he or she has absolutely no knowledge to speak of and the confidence that person has, that his or her edits are meaningful, to be trully astonishing. I am not even scandalised. I am in awe. I have lost any interest and motivation to go on, which is clearly visible from the edits I have been making lately. I am sorry! I have already let it go and now I got really heated up and frustrated yet again. There's no point to dwell further on that. I'm out.B.Velikov (talk) 13:33, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

I wanted to clarify with you that I removed the group from the org chart since it wasn’t an operations unit like SpOC’s wings or the 614 AOC – not because it was reassigned outside of SMC or the USSF (which I have seen no indication of). After seeing your edit summary, I felt it would be best to make sure we were on the same page with regard to the reasons for the edit. Garuda28 (talk) 03:35, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of RAF Shepards Grove. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
First, it looks like we were cross-editing 6th Tactical Missile Squadron yesterday. I think a couple of references you may have added are orphans as a result. You may want to take a look and see if they have to be put in the References section.

Hello Buckshot06. I recently came across some alarming messages you have posted on the talk pages of User:J-Man11, User:JMRAMOS0109 and User:Ech25. An administrator of your experience must know that it's not okay to speak to other editors like this, issue orders and ultimatums, unilaterally impose editing restrictions, or threaten to use your admin tools in content disputes. I realise you that think these editors are creating content problems that you have to clean up, and that maybe you lost your temper, but these are serious breaches of WP:ADMINCOND. Please stop.
Additionally, your deletion of The Lancastrian Volunteers was knowingly out of process. As it seems a notable topic to me, could you please restore it and follow the usual procedures (i.e. AfD)? – Joe (talk) 12:26, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
unless you reference this edit within 72 hours you will be blocked)?
Sticking my nose in, I wonder if you both might consider pausing this conversation for a few days, and restarting it in a positive manner? I haven't examined any of the stuff above, but I get the feeling that Buckshoto6 is open to constructive criticism, but feels under assault and that Joe Roe would be happy to get a positive change without the need for anything heavyhanded. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 10:57, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
Buckshot06, I think you're misunderstanding the role of what a WikiProject is. While WikiProjects are often where consensus can be formed, they aren't governing authorities and can't decide whether editors can be blocked, even if some of the members are admins. I speak as a member of the U.S. Roads WikiProject - per WP:INVOLVED, unless it's outright vandalism I can't just go and block road editors who make edits I don't like, or even edits that most of the project members don't like. --Rschen7754 18:28, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Buckshot. I just wanted to thank you for your many quality improvements to the wikipedia. It is no sin at all to get burnt out a bit. Good luck in your real life and come back sometimes when you feel, again many thanks. Govindaharihari (talk) 16:10, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
All of this is a great shame. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I think that part of the problem is the way that the Milhist project has created such a bureaucracy for itself that is impenetrable to experienced outsiders, let alone newbies. I've seen this kind of thing happen before with WikiProjects. I'd gently suggest the WikiProject considers this.
You have to remember that editors (whatever hats they wear) are our most prized assets. We should guide, encourage and help newbies, and RBI vandals. The middle ground ('stubbornly clueless newbie editor') is as rare as hen's teeth. The stubbornly resistant experienced editor is a different kettle of fish. They need to be shown consensus and then politely shown the door.

Hello, it seems I am arriving too late! You're no longer using admin tools which I suppose would be helpful. I have found Wikipedia to be a quirky and interesting place. I guess you feel that way also. I think there are major problems on the site and hopefully they will be fixed. I don't see to find the right people interested in doing so. Recently posted on the admin noticeboard (not ANI but higher up than that even). I guess at your leisure since you have more time get back to me?

I refer to you, as you have clearly done a lot of the work on the article. On the talk page, I suggest it would benefit from being split into two separate but linked articles, as there is a difference between the words ADD and DA, and the article suffers from trying to cover the changes in technology, and in war & peace over 80 years, in one go. I have also tried to present a tighter, more logical, structure to the article as it is (splitting would not affect the content, just the opening paragraph, and linking to the 'other' - ADD:DA - half. I'd be interested in your comments to either aspect: the proposal and/or the tweaking.Protozoon (talk) 21:42, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I saw you reverted my revert on this article. The original revert was based on another edit of a user account who is subject to multiple-time complaints at Administrators' noticeboard, due to continous POV'ed edits (, , ). The mentioned edit was biased, relying on user POV, manupilative, lacking of supporting evidence (no reference at all) and it was trying to pull article elsewhere. I'll revert it again with good intention and hereby I'd like to underline that I respect you as a Wikipedia contributor and I'd like to avoid a potential edit warring. If you'd like to support such a controversial text, please kindly bring supporting evidences/references. Regards. Isik (talk) 11:59, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
Could you take a look at 9th Combat Operations Squadron#Reserve space operations. I recently marked this entire section as unreferenced, replacing individual paragraph tags.

Good Evening Buckshot06,
Sorry to bother you, I am a contributor on Wikipedia in French and I am currently participating in WikiContest having chosen the Estonian armed forces as the theme.
I see that you have contributed by bringing many interesting elements concerning the history of the Estonian land forces, do you have by chance sources / references (internet link, book, etc ...) which could accompany this paragraph? These will probably be required to be able to offer the article to a label.
Sorry for my poor English, and thank you very much in any case for your contributions to this article. --Martin-78 (talk) 20:47, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:Corps of Spain requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hi! I could do with some advice. I had some additional material on the 54th and 58th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiments that I was going to add to the article on their parent unit, 1st Dumbartonshire Rifle Volunteers, later 9th Battalion Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. As I recall, this was quite a good article, but when I tried to check I found that it had been deleted due to some serious transgression by the contributor. A month later it has not been reinstated. I have the usual sources to re-create a page for these units: the question is, should I go ahead and do so? I'm not sure of the protocol in this sort of case!

A few days ago, I suggested a merger of 51st Troop Carrier Wing with 551st Electronic Systems Wing. If you look at the 51st Wing article you will see why I think there's no reason to keep it as a separate article, and I do not change my usual position that one article on a USAF unit is quite enough. I usually regard folks who oppose rational mergers as obstructionists.
As I usually do, while the merger suggestion is pending, I try to improve the merge to site. In this case, I am starting to wonder whether separate articles are more appropriate. My work in the 551st AEW&C Wing and 551st Electronic Systems Wing is basically complete (a couple of citations might be added). But as I started to flesh out the 51st Troop Carrier Wing portion of the unit's history, I begin to wonder. I don't want an opinion now, but take a look at what only covers the first seven month's of the wing's history. I expect there will be at least as much material associated with Operation Husky. I'm not sure I'll be able to locate the source material, but there will be some material on the 51st Wing's fading into European Air Transport during the occupation as well. I'll ping you when things are complete, but right now I'm considering a post on the MILHIST talk page for opinions on the merger. Any comments? --Lineagegeek (talk) 00:46, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi. I recently saw Military-industrial complex article and recent addition of content from animal-industrial complex article based on one book where it is claimed about that two are connected or the same. So as things need to get wide acceptance and recognition to be added at wikipedia, and this is not place for advocacy or promotion of thought to get some attention as I understood about Wikipedia. I opened talk page discussion too at that Talk:Military–industrial complex#Recently added content. Please, as one editor with a lot of experience can you check? Would be great.

Hey, Buckshot06. Looking for your advice on this division. The first 160th was formed in 1940 and was mostly destroyed in September 1941. However a cadre managed to survive, was rebuilt and returned to the front in December. Meanwhile the number was reassigned in error to the 6th Moscow Militia Division so that for about 18 months there were two 160th Rifle Divisions serving concurrently until the 1940 formation became the 89th Guards RD in April 1943. IMO these require two separate articles because neither can be considered a "1st" or "2nd" formation. I'm suggesting one article entitled "160th Rifle Division (1940 formation)" and a second article entitled "160th Rifle Division (1941 formation)". This will require an addition to the "Soviet Union divisions before 1945" template, possibly "160th(a)" and "160th(b)". Your thoughts? Wreck Smurfy (talk) 19:02, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey Buckshot, I noticed you asked if someone, anyone, would close the t-ban proposal you posted at AN, 3 or 4 days ago, and still nothing. It should be a fairly straight-forward close, the consensus seems to be there, and even the subject supports it himself. (I'm surprised Peacemaker67 hasn't stepped in... maybe he's tied up with other stuff, either WP or RL right now?) Anyway, I have nothing against the kid, but I see the problems seem to continue, as do your frustrations. This isn't fair to anyone involved.
Question I have is; Have you considered posting at WP:CR? Just curious. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know, eh?
Oh, and one more question; I noticed that many of the posts here on your tp don't have signatures. Is that on purpose? (Perhaps an archiving thing?) Anyway, I'm gonna sign this comment, but feel free to remove the signature if you need to. Cheers mate - wolf 11:15, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

I just removed a bunch of stuff from this page referring to the 21st Fighter Squadron, but it got me to reviewing some related material. My thoughts are at talk:486th Fighter Squadron. It strikes me that if we are to include revoked actions, what would we do with 354th Operations Group and 117th Operations Group, in which an 8 year old allotment to the National Guard and redesignation was revoked. Not many people realize that until the 1960s or so, the US military ran the telephone system in Alaska. About 20 years after it was civilianized, the Air Force realized that Alaskan Communications System was a unit and inactivated it. --Lineagegeek (talk) 23:35, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Howdy,
I noticed that quite a few years ago, you referenced some information to this work. Do you still have access to it?EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 13:41, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
this title for a category is a bit of a misnomer for the Australian Defence Force. This term would be rejected by the Australian Defence Forces. Is there any opportunity to rename this category to something more apppropriate, such as Order of Battle (or the like)? --Whiteguru (talk) 07:37, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello Buckshot06 I see from the deletion log that you removed the page with the history of RAF Little Walden (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=RAF_Little_Walden&action=edit&redlink=1) due to some sort of copyright infringement I would like to get the page reinstated but would like to determine the detailed reason for removal so that I could see if this could be resolved. Please can you help? This is a personal matter to me as I live on the former airfield site and it is a real shame the history of the airfield is no longer available to remind Wikipedia readers the sacrifice made by the airmen based there during World War II Many thanks Chris147.161.166.184 (talk) 07:47, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying with it being the general history of the Afghan Army, there is however already a page about the Military of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and I think it would be redundant to make another.
It occurred to after doing some basic cleanup on some pages created by Mr. Moll. (I'm sure you still have an occasion to visit his work). I have noticed something about his use of clearly public domain sites (particularly the two Maurer editions). In the "Stations" section for squadrons, he appears to have cut and pasted not from the appropriate entry in Combat Squadrons, but instead from the parent group entry in Combat Units. If you find yourself editing one of his works, take a close look in the dates in the "Stations" section. Particularly during World War II, it was common for groups to move piecemeal, so station dates for squadrons are frequently a day or a few days from those of the group (which he used). If you look at my station markup for 381st Bombardment Squadron, you can see how many dates I had to change. Not something I checked when I first started editing Wiki — I pretty much assumed he had cut and pasted from the approppriate location. Lineagegeek (talk) 23:14, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello,
Since Long Marston airfield has been closed down with housing starting to completely cover the site i don't see the point of having both an article for the RAF history (RAF Long Marston) and the civilian post war (Long Marston Airfield so i want to merge them together.
What would you suggest that article to be called?
Over the last year, the airfield page seems to be getting double the page views per month even though it's poorly referenced compared to the RAF article, with the airfield now being defunct i don't know which article name to keep.

Hello,
I've been updating the List of Royal Air Force aircraft independent flights adding active dates (by year) and what happened to the unit after disbanding. Their is now a large amount of redlinks in the articles and i want to remove them. One idea is to create the redirect and link back to the list and correct section then remove the link on the list page, but i wanted your opinion first.
Also i want your views on whether dividing up the "Numbered flights RAF 1940 on" and "Miscellaneous Flights" sections by type would be a good idea.
