1912 Brooklands Flanders Monoplane crash

  • ... that the first report into an aviation accident was produced in June 1912?

  • New article, all edits over about 3 days.
  • 1750 B of prose
  • Neutral tone, just lays out the facts
  • Inline citations employed
  • Source quality wise, there is a major newspaper, a govt website, and two sources listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Resources, so I assume their reliability.
  • Sources match article for most part, AGF on offline
  • I do not see any close paraphrasing
  • Hook is brief and interesting
  • I'm undecided about how the hook links to the article, but it seems okay

Remaining issues

  • QPQ necessary
  • Ref 1 does not explicitly mention model numbers (F.3 and D.4). This isn't a deal breaker, but if they could be sourced, it would be nice. Looking at the relevant Wikipedia articles, I agree that those should be the models by seating and horsepower, respectively.
As an aside, Chrome does not like ref 1, but IE8 handles it fine. Chris857 (talk) 02:31, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
I missed a couple of things.
  • Looking at the report, is appears that the phrase should be in extenso, not in extensor
  • I'm not seeing where it is stated that this was the first air accident to be investigated. I see that it was the first in the UK, but is absolutely the first worldwide? Chris857 (talk) 02:36, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
