Regarding XXF85 docking difficulties, I remember this was discussed in an Air Enthusiast article about the type, (but no, I have no reference, and no I can't remember what it said about military c.f. test pilots, if anything).

This is not right:

flight at speeds between 180 and 250 mph (200–300 km/h)

and, strictly speaking, this is not right either (excess precision):

released from the bomber at a height of 20,000 ft (6,096 m)

There's a case for using the {{convert}} template. GregorB (talk) 08:53, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, a few errors that "slipped in." Corrected. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 13:19, 6 December 2011 (UTC).[reply]

It appears to have been corrected. Thanks! Falconus^{p t c} 16:37, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all, there is a new stable template that I have placed on this talk page. The purpose of this template, as explained in the documentation and in a short discussion at the village pump, is to help against article rot (the deterioration of quality that can occur in articles), and to keep a link to a stable version, which will be reliable, and not so prone to those errors, vandalism, and erroneous information that can crop up at any moment. It has no effect on the actual article, and can be upgraded/changed at any time - ideally to reflect a newer, improved stable version. This being said, if you are against using it on this talk page (some have found it intrusive), feel free to discuss or remove it - I believe that it will benefit some articles more than others, and I accept that not all will see a need for it on each article.
