I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow you to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns. Thurgate (talk) 16:46, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello again, Thurgate. I'm currently waiting for my library to get the books I requested for the KGVs. I've addressed your concerns, if you would look over again and respond, I would be grateful. WikiCopter (♠ • ♣ • ♥ • ♦ • simple • commons • lost • cvu • onau) 17:56, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Ah k, well just let me know when you get the books that we can make a start on it. Also nice work on the article. Passed Thurgate (talk) 18:31, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to add a further comment, something lacking from the article is any mention of the fact that the CAM-Ships were fitted with radar to enable the FDO to guide the fighter once launched onto it's target. Ralph Barkers The Hurricats mentions this several times without specifying what model was fitted, also that both radar operator and seaman-torpedoman (to service the rockets) were carried as crew. One thing that should be considered is the creation of a diagram (or diagrams) showing the layout of a generic CAM-Ship showing the modifications made.Graham1973 (talk) 15:05, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
