GA nom

Having added reactivation details and expanded the WWII subsection, I think this is GA-worthy so I'm going to nominate it shortly. It was in nice shape to start with so if anyone who's made significant contributions (AC, Rupert, Nick) would like to come for the ride, pls feel free to add your name to the nom.

Cheers, Ian, if I can help, I'll certainly try to do so. Thanks for your efforts. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 16:34, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know, Rupert, I've nominated at DYK for 9 May (date of GA pass) -- feel free to add an alt if you like, but I couldn't resist the beer-bottle episode... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 03:19, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Ian, yes I enjoyed that one! Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 08:43, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
