User:Ian Rose/Prospective TFAs

The following are articles that I'd be happy to see chosen for TFA any time, generally because a) the subject is particularly interesting to me and may be so to others, b) I've already ensured that all formatting, links, style conventions, etc, are reasonably up-to-date, and c) they appear to me to be even less vandal-prone than most of 'my' articles:

  • Jerry Pentland -- one of the highest-scoring Australian aces of World War I who also flew in World War II, and quite a 'character'; recommend File:PentlandRFC.jpg as the blurb image.
    • Scheduled 10 August 2016. Ian Rose (talk) 21:16, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Oswald Watt -- another World War I flyer and leader, whose name lives on in the Oswald Watt Gold Medal for achievements in aviation; happy with infobox image for blurb, or File:Watt1914-16.jpg as an alternative, especially since it's in his French uniform.
    • Scheduled 21 December 2013. Ian Rose (talk) 00:33, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
  • No. 2 Operational Conversion Unit RAAF -- very recent FA, and a bit different as my first on a military unit; imagebox crest is fair-use so suggest File:RAAF FA-18B 2011.jpg as blurb image, since it's current hardware.
    • Scheduled 19 January 2014. Ian Rose (talk) 00:30, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
  • William Brill -- one the least-famous subjects I've ever chosen but a truly action-packed wartime career, and one article I've always been unduly pleased with in terms of prose.
    • Scheduled 17 May 2016. Ian Rose (talk) 13:45, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
  • No. 33 Squadron RAAF -- recent promotion focussing on the RAAF's sole air-to-air refuelling unit; take your pick of the images in the main body.
    • Scheduled 15 November 2019. Ian Rose (talk) 03:38, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
  • No. 34 Squadron RAAF -- another recent promotion, this one being about the RAAF's VIP squadron; suggest File:Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604, Australia - Air Force AN0564834.jpg as the most appropriate image.
    • Scheduled 7 July 2014. Ian Rose (talk) 13:27, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Elwyn Roy King -- very recent promotion of another World War I fighter ace article.
    • Scheduled 28 November 2014. Ian Rose (talk) 12:51, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
  • No. 1 Flying Training School RAAF -- another very recent promotion; imagebox crest is fair-use so suggest File:P00448.005Avro504K1926.jpg or File:RoseWapiti1FTS1938.jpg as blurb image (yes, I have a vested interest in the latter but I think it's an appropriate pic by any standard!)...

  • Hector Waller -- in contrast to William Brill above, Waller is one of the most famous subjects I've worked on. Bench wanted to run this as TFA a while ago but it had too many dead links for me to update at the time; these have since been fixed, thanks in part to DrKiernan's efforts.
    • Added to Prospective TFAs on 1 March 2017. Ian Rose (talk) 13:33, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Roy Phillipps -- another World War I ace, recently promoted, with two good PD images to choose from, the infobox portrait or the one with his kid.
    • Scheduled 12 June 2017. Ian Rose (talk) 03:37, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
  • No. 77 Squadron RAAF -- another recent squadron promotion; several PD images to choose from, but one from the Korean War section is probably most appropriate.
    • Scheduled 3 June 2015. Ian Rose (talk) 13:01, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Note that a couple of the above would be particularly appropriate for 2014–18 as they focus heavily on World War I in its centenary period.
