Article name

I disagree with the article name change to City of Canberra and the reason given ("no need to disambiguate"). There has been more than one aircraft called City of Canberra - the Boeing 707 preserved at the Qantas Founders Outback Museum is also named City of Canberra; and people may be looking for the city of Canberra instead of an aeroplane.

The current name shouldn't be a problem as long as we don't have articles on the other aircraft. Hatnotes can take care of linking to the actual city, and any other articles that cover the other aircraft in detail. Btw, the preferred way to dab an individual aircraft article is to use "(aircraft)" after the name, that doesn't matter at this point. - BilCat (talk) 07:10, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies to Bilcat - I had not cited references.

Hi Bilcat,

You are correct - please accept my sincere apologies for not having included referenced sources.

I was going to include references, but then contemplated that amending the photo seemed less footprint compared to adding reference text. My mistake.

The puff of smoke visible in the linked photo is a true "moment in time" or "Kodak moment" that lasts but an instant. I appeal to your sense of cordiality that the 7:47 time of the 747 landing (specially designated as flight QF7474) was intended as recognition of precision instead of trivial, since it was the very intent (and achievement) of the organisers to land the 747 aircraft at 7:47am.

Would you forgive my previous lack of referenced sources and consider the addition?

Best regards, David

PS. The following references are simply available for your consideration - multiple are shown to indicate correlation and notariety, but I am not suggesting all of them are necesary.
