Wow, bad name[edit]

Considering the X-27 never actually existed, I can see no reason to include it in the title here. It's confusing and reads poorly. Since X-27 already redirs here (or tries to), it seems there's more than enough ways to find this article either way. Maury 16:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

True, but it's an X-plane designation none the less, and I was trying to account for that. I was trying to take to existing stubs, and make a better page. THe title was a sticcky point tho, and I'm not totally satisified with it either. If there's a consensus to move it to CL-1200 Lancer (by an admin, as page already exists), I won't oppose it. - BillCJ 16:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy with either Lockheed CL-1200 or CL-1200 Lancer personally. Maury 16:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to Lockheed CL-1200. - BillCJ 17:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Saved me the effort :-) Maury 18:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More reference material

I have a four page article from a 1972 book which gives very detailed information on the CL1200 proposal, I can add some if you are happy, cheers. Nimbus227 21:11, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do, book references are IMHO better than WebLinks. --Colputt 23:34, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Will do when I find the time, cheers Nimbus227 11:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some progress[edit]

Have added an infobox and my reference which confirms the specifications so removed the 'aerospecs' tag. There is a fair chunk on costings in my book which I might summarise. Lots of emphasis on commonality with the F-104 as well as a sales pitch, need to paragraph that. The image has come out a bit large in the infobox and the resolution is not so good, if someone could make it a bit smaller please (until I work ut how to do it myself!), Cheers Nimbus227 19:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
