Thank you for your review. Anne (talk) 14:29, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Since there wasn't only one Bristol F.2, may I suggest "a" rather than "the":

Ironically, just a month or so ago, I was corrected about using "a". Use of "the" implies a single type of aircraft, which is the case, but use of "a" implies a specific plane, not the case. So, I think we should stick with the original hook. However, thank you for your suggestion. Anne (talk) 00:37, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
