This looks good. A few points:

  • the lead could be expanded a little more, promotions, split the victories by campaign, a bit more about his death
  • suggest odd→occasional
  • suggest "It then began to fly sorties over France"
  • Luftwaffe is in most English dictionaries, so doesn't qualify for MOS:FOREIGN italicisation
  • "The next day" after which date?
  • maybe state where Rochford and Manston are
  • "one of 30 that were intercepted"
  • "In a subsequent patrol later in the day" is a bit tautological
  • Bf 19s
  • Optional: I'd re-order the cites in numerical order ie [10][7]→[7][10]
  • who presented his DFC?
  • including the navigation box for the British World War II flying aces with 10+ aerial victories seems incongruous given he isn't one of them. Perhaps add a "See also" section with a link to List of World War II aces from the United Kingdom?

That's it, placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:01, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article is well-written, verifiable using reliable sources, covers the subject well, is neutral and stable, contains no plagiarism, and is illustrated by an image with an appropriate caption. Passing. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 13:10, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Peacemaker67: Thanks PM, I was going to come back and do a little more on the lead. Anyhoo, hope you are well, it seems like it has been a while since we last crossed paths. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 00:40, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
