Lilian Bland

Lilian Bland piloting the Mayfly

  • ... that the first woman to design and build her own aircraft – Lilian Bland (pictured) – flew it using a whisky bottle and an ear trumpet?
  • Reviewed: tbd.
  • Comment: I will be doing lots more on this but it already qualifies, being moved into mainspace on 15 Nov with about 2600 bytes of text. Just wanted to get the nomination started before I forget.

Moved to mainspace by Andrew Gray (talk), Andrew Davidson (talk). Nominated by Andrew Davidson (talk) at 00:35, 20 November 2013 (UTC).

  • Getting back to this, I see that the nom wasn't included in the list for the day. I thought there was a bot that did this? Anyway, I'll be attending to any loose ends this afternoon at an editathon. Andrew Davidson (talk) 08:22, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Amongst those loose ends is the absence of a QPQ.--Launchballer 13:55, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Suggested rewording of hook:
  • ALT1: ... that Lilian Bland (pictured), the first woman to design and build her own aircraft, flew it using a whisky bottle and an ear trumpet? Yoninah (talk) 20:33, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Symbol voting keep.svg I'll go with Alt1. History thread shows when moved to mainspace. Length fine. Image is fine. Accepting book source in good faith, it has a page number that can be verified by someone who has a copy of it. I removed the empty section. No copy vios. - AnakngAraw (talk) 13:49, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
