replies: text: Discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aircraft#Comparison_tables indicates that no one supports having these tables in individual articles.  If they exist at all—and several users opposed their inclusion—they should be placed in a central location.  Please do not reinsert this table into the article.

replies: text: Pages in other languages DO publish tables like this. It gives a nice comparison of contemporary aircraft. Even books about aircraft will publish a table with comperative performance figures, or air-to-air combat figures (faster than x below 10.000 feet; slower rate of roll than, etc.) Dirk P Broer 14:25, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

message: From the article "The twin-engined Beaufort was unsuitable as the basis of a fighter, but it did have reasonably powerful 1,200 horsepower (890 kW) Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp engines, which were being made under license in Sydney. While these engines were not particularly suited for use in fighter aircraft due to their high frontal area, they were the only high-performance engines available at the time."
Both statements are inaccurate, as other articles here within Wikipedia itself readily confirm.  The Beaufort was developed into the very successful Beaufighter.  Furthermore, the Twin Wasp was also used with good results in the in the F4F Wildcat.  It should probably say that CAC officials did not feel they could develop a fighter from the Beaufort within the constraints of available time and resources.  In the case of the latter sentence, Throughout the 30's and 40's there were debates about radial versus inline or V engines for fighters, but the fact is both configurations were considered "particularly suitable" at various times for various designs. 76.28.70.173 23:10, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

message: How does one alter the "Notes" section? I have an updated link for the article by Gary Sunderland referring to Fred David, but I can't see the "Notes" section if I try to edit the page.

replies: text: Hi Derek. IOT edit the notes you need to click on the 'edit' link of the section that the note appears in. This is because notes, like inline citations, are coded as part of the prose. I hope this makes sense. Anyway let me know if you need further clarification. Cheers. Anotherclown (talk) 03:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

text: Hi Anotherclown (Mr. Clown?). I had to think very hard about that for several minutes, then it dawned on me! So I was able to correct the link (by editing the 'Development' section, where the reference was cited). Thanks for the tip.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Derekbu (talk • contribs) 14:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
