Just created the template for you its over at Template:Northern Territory roster, i have it linking up to an uncreated page by the name of Northern Territory Buffalo's. When you go to edit the template it will look quite abit different in the coding at to the one you sent me, you have to edit it direct from the template page as there is no direct link from the template as it appears on pages (cant remember how to do that after a long day haha). Just drop me a line if you need any other help with the page, the Template:ABL infobox might need some modifications to meet what you are doing. --Dan027 (talk) 11:36, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Watkins

As you'll see I manged to track down the Mention. There seems to be a bit of confusion over his rank. The Gazette entry lists him as warrant officer (not a commissioned rank), CWGC has him as pilot officer (lowest commissioned rank), and teh Cenotaph entry seems to follow this. You, presumably base on the 156 Squadron site have him as Flying Officer. Some mention of this probably ought to be made. David Underdown (talk) 07:07, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
