message: Since the article has already has undergone some changes in format, I would like to note some changes that were made recently to use templates. It is not clear whether templates are necessary, and with some errors made in the use of the templates, I considered that the revert to the original format style was appropriate.

message: I know, they were working up to being race ready. Would you accept "practise" (the more usual racer term)?  TREKphiler hit me ♠  04:34, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely, although the term used by the source was "training". FWiW Bzuk (talk) 10:53, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I confess a conflct between the military & the racer on this one. "Training" strikes me a more formalized, standardized process than I'd expect for air racing (esp in '30s). Which isn't to say they're disorganized, but by comparison to now, it was pretty casual.  TREKphiler hit me ♠  16:24, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the High Speed Flight was a unit of the RAF, and was operated closely co-ordinated with industry, I suspect that things would be more formal than many other types of Air Racing at the time, hence training rather than practice may be appropriate.Nigel Ish (talk) 16:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As a sop to either argument, I have used both terms in the passage. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 18:25, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: It's raining again

message: I'm sorry, I guffed this up when I split it off. The intention was to separate the explanation of why there was no S.7 in preparation and recourse had to be made to using the two existing airframes and building two more modified versions.Its a separate story and deserves expansion rather than being something cluttering up the beginning of the story of the S6B technical development. but I do have as excuse, which as it stood, started 'In 1930 ,prime minister....and then actully starts with the announcement in 1929. Mea culpa, I'll sort it out TheLongTone (talk) 11:18, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thousands seems more reasonable than millions, athough a more exact figure would be good. 1) If millions hd been raised Lady Houston's 100,000 GBP, which tipped the scales, would not have been significant. 2) A million was a lot of money then: the entire Air Estimate for 1931 was around 18 million.TheLongTone (talk) 14:36, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
