My primary editing interests are military and military history related articles, in particular anything to do with current and historic British aviation and naval history. Although I do go around making subtle (and some times not so subtle) edits where I feel necessary.

Beware of those learned in the ways of Sock puppetry. Chronic Sockpuppeteers, such as Chanakyathegreat affectionately known as "The BANNED one", or, "the one who is not so great" are undoubtedly the most stubborn kind to run into!

Awards[edit]

	The Editor's Barnstar
	For this edit, which help to make my headache go away because I've been looking long and hard trying to figure out how to reformat/reword since day 1 of the messy text dump by an ignorant but helpful (good faith, nonetheless) newbie. Good job~! Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 16:52, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Picture of the day

HMS Malabar was a 74-gun ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched in 1818 at Bombay Dockyard. In 1838, Malabar ran aground off Prince Edward Island in British North America and was damaged, with the loss of two crew members. She was refloated later that year and towed into Three Rivers in Lower Canada. In August 1843, Malabar, under the command of Sir George Sartorius, assisted in fighting a fire that destroyed the United States Navy sidewheel frigate USS Missouri at Gibraltar, taking aboard about 200 of that ship's survivors. Malabar was converted to a hulk in 1848, eventually becoming a coal hulk, and was renamed Myrtle in 1883. The hulk was sold out of the navy in 1905. This lithograph from around 1843 shows the crew of Malabar watching as Missouri explodes and burns in the distance.Lithograph credit: Thomas Goldsworthy Dutton, after Edward Duncan and George Pechell Mends; restored by Adam Cuerden
