Good article. One thing though: Jones was a prominent UFO enthusiast, see Australian ufology and Air Marshall Sir George Jones and the UFO. I think this should be mentioned(?) Grant | Talk 14:07, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
I was aware that my initial wording wasn't the best, but I was trying to make it seem less "tacked on" to the end of the para, and make it flow more ligically from teh preceding sentences. Perhaps "Regardless of this..." would do, or perhaps any such qualification is unecessary. I'm slightly curious as to why you felt it necessary to avoid the re-direct on King's Birthday Honours, but left the one on Companion of the Bath alone? Particularly since there will probably be a reasonable case for moving Queen's Birthday Honours to King's Birthday Honours on the (eventual) death of the current monarch, at which point the redirect will then run the other way.

In the RAF the correct spelling for 2 star rank is "air vice-marshal" although "air vice marshal" is sometimes seen. What is the correct rendering in the RAAF? Greenshed ( talk) 08:48, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Who followed Jones as Director of Training in 1942? According to Douglas Gillison in the Royal Australian Air Force, 1939-1942 (page 142) Air Commodore F N Wright was RAAF Director of Training from 1943. It would be good to complete the following succession box:
