Article Creation

[edit]

I am away I am likely to take a break and have moved this from my sandbox a little more hurriedly than I was planning. Its being done by cut and paste due to a lot of miscellaneous editting in my sandbox. Feel very free to improve the article, correct my mistakes, etc. I may return to it from time to time. There is additional information in the references not in the article at this time. It has proven a bigger job than I thought Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 23:49, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Image

[edit]

The only usage image I can find seems strange, it being the Canterbury in WWII. I'd prefer her a now wartime short for the main image. The plane in the background seem dramatic, and I think some may even claim it as Japanese. However the ahip was used as a practice target for the Fleet Air Arm so perhaps that is what that is about but I am speculating.

Move to main space

[edit]

I've moved this article to mainspace due to an erroneous wikilink being created on commons and moving this article to mainspace quickly seems the best way forward. I had hoped to visit Kew on Thursday or even Sunday but as my commons footprint shows I spent too much time at Alexandra Palace ... but a side benefit was I bought For the Kings Service Railway Ships at War AJ Mullay which contains a little more on Canterbury (and others) during the war period. Someone on Commons has identified the aircraft as a Hampden which seems credible with Canterbury being used as Fleet Air Arm target practice.Djm-leighpark (talk) 14:52, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
