GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a. (prose, spelling, and grammar):  I  am very happy with spelling and grammar. Prose is quite clear and does not use a lot of technical language and understandable to a broad audience. However can you please rephrase this line: Hill, the pilot, was thrown clear of the aircraft in his ejection seat, which was live when the aircraft departed from North Weald.

b. (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): 

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a. (reference section): 

b. (citations to reliable sources): 

c. (OR): 

d. (copyvio and plagiarism): 
I run the article through checks. Both automatic and manual, chance of plagiarism is very low.

It is broad in its coverage.
a. (major aspects): 

b. (focused): 

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 

It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a. (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): 

b. (appropriate use with suitable captions): 

Overall:
Pass/fail: 
On hold. Great article, please can you just change the line that I stated above.  Trains2050 (talk) 17:09, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

(Criteria marked  are unassessed)

There is No mention of Lancing even though the airport and the crash were both in lancing not Shoreham.  Tried editing but removed. 86.16.123.86 (talk) 09:25, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Lancing is listed as the location of the airport in other wiki pages but not mentioned here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brighton_City_Airport  PrinceAndrewoops (talk) 09:40, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

That page does now list Lancing as the location of the airport, with a map referenced as the source. I think it's time to name the parish that experienced the crash in the page. Somewhen (talk) 18:34, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
I've gone ahead and made small additions to add references to Lancing as the site of the crash. Most references to Shoreham are fine and left as is, as a shorthand for Shoreham Airport; I've expanded one or two for clarity and removed none. The crash is known as the Shoreham Air Crash, and that needs preserving. Somewhen (talk) 10:45, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
@Somewhen: - your changes look fine to me. Mjroots (talk) 13:15, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

@ED12345555 and Toddy1: we're not going to edit war over whether or not the United Kingdom is linked in the lede, are we. It would be a pity to have to open my banhammer case this side of Xmas. Mjroots (talk) 06:50, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
