1b)
Lede is appropriately sized and is a good summary of the article and sections are excellent. Pass
5) Article is stable
6a)b) Photos are tagged correctly and captions are good.
- Sources are reliable and well organised, no OR. Can't verify main source but clippings are accurate. Can pass this but are the newspapers excerpts a) needed (they seem to mostly restate what is said in the prose) and b) in the public domain? @Zawed: Dracophyllum 08:05, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- I think you are referring to the London Gazette citations for his awards? It is common practice at Milhist to include the citations where available, and I have successfully taken articles with these citations through GA right up to FA, e.g. William Hardham, Edgar Kain.

Notes edit
- https://archive.org/search?query=%22Mick+Ensor%22&sin=TXT Has some extra sources that FAC might(?) want but they are probably superfluous anyways.
- In the future I would like to get a hold of the Franks books for greater context of Coastal Command's operations against U-boats and to reduce reliance on the main source. Otherwise I am happy with the sourcing as it stands. Zawed (talk) 10:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- I agree the sourcing is fine, but just in case you were unaware Internet Archive accounts are free which means you already have access to those books (at least digitally) if you would like them. Dracophyllum 10:38, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
@Dracophyllum: thanks for the review, much appreciated. I have responded as above and with edits to the article, and it is ready for you to take another look. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 10:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
