  • No DABs
  • Images appropriately licensed
  • instructor but also Is this proper NZ/Aus English? 'Cause I was taught that "but" is almost always preceded by a comma. There are more of these scattered throughout.
  • Tell the reader what type of aircraft a Walrus is

  • with the HMS Courageous and Ark Royal in the next sentence
  • At one stage while aboard the Ark Royal, Substitute the date for "at one stage" and close proximity alert for Ark Royal, use a pronoun for the second use.
