AMES Type 85

[edit]

Created by Maury Markowitz (talk). Self-nominated at 23:07, 30 December 2018 (UTC).

Reviewed: Arthur R. Gralla. Have an image for this if this if need be. Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:57, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Looks good as far as I can understand all that technical jargon. I added the image to the hook so the promoting editor can decide whether to use it or not. The hook is reasonably interesting but could benefit from some abbreviating, e.g. ... that the RAF's AMES Type 85 radar (pictured) was considered obsolete by the time it became operational?
