Congratulations
This is an excellent article. I've often heard of this incident but this is the first consise account I've been able to find. --Nick Dowling 10:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- Cheers, mate. Well, it was a fascinating cast of characters. Caldwell's the popular hero who always gets a mention, and rightly so, but Arthur (also a nominal Group Captain, at the ripe old age of 24) laid the groundwork, so hopefully we've got a decent balance there.

- Yes, well done Ian. It's almost up to Featured Article standard. Grant | Talk 01:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- A photo would help, though I'm not sure of what. Cranky looking or bored fighter pilots perhaps? --Nick Dowling 10:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- I just found and added what I think is a suitable photo. AWM OG3381 is similar, but the body language seems more hostile in AWM OG3380. --Nick Dowling 10:10, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- Nice one, Nick, took the words right out out of my mouth - a photo was exactly what it needed next. Hadn't seen that one before, looks good. Cheers, Ian Rose 14:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, very good choice. I have just used MS Picture Manager to crop the black edges off and turn the "saturation" down, as Harry and Clive were looking a bit green. The AWM don't always go to much trouble when they scan their pics. Still a great resource though.Grant | Talk 15:13, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- AWM also has a pic from 1945 (VIC1638) that I first saw in a book and considered using in addition to the Cobby/Caldwell one we already have, namely Jones and Kenney looking surprisingly cordial - though the fact that it appears to have been taken in Manila, not Morotai, might make it a somewhat less perfect fit. WDYT? Cheers, Ian Rose 16:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- That's pretty good. I was tempted to add a photo from the AWM database which shows a memorial service held at Morotai in October 1945 for two Spitfire pilots killed during ground attack missions (P02482.007 or P02482.006 ). There are also lots of photos of Caldwell surrounded by adoring pilots which tends to suggest where the senior pilots gained the confidence to 'mutiny'. --Nick Dowling 08:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
