Live load[edit]

Ambiguous phrase, isn't it. I've seen this repeated as a 350lb bomb load. A much-needed article which raises all sorts of messy issues about early British aircraft procurement.TheLongTone (talk) 12:57, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if it meant that it could be released rather than just carried! Thanks for your additions TLT (and also thanks to Nigel), I would like at some point to identify more of the aircraft and link or create articles, but no rush. MilborneOne (talk) 18:02, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The French aircraft should be identifiable. Who is first in the queue to do the Aerial Wheeel Syndicate machine? First page of Lewis, daft technical description, never flew...no dimensions, I'd have to work out a scale for the drawing. Another thing I know very well one doesn't do: would it be original research?TheLongTone (talk) 19:11, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No dimensions in Bruce either - the aircraft itself seems fairly daft - Bruce says of it had it flown "it could hardly have failed to be extremly dangerous".Nigel Ish (talk) 19:20, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Does the table need a ' pilot' column?TheLongTone (talk) 21:34, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Might be an idea as some will be notable, did think of adding engine somewhere. MilborneOne (talk) 22:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mersey Monoplane?[edit]

Another Wikipedia article, on the "Mersey Monoplane" - says it was entered into the trials. According to it the aircraft crashed during the trials, killing the pilot Robert C Fenwick. 77.100.216.20 (talk) 16:25, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Its already referred to in the article - in the table.Nigel Ish (talk) 20:51, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
