Book resources[edit]

For Victorian Wikipedians with access to university libraries, there are a large number of books on Flynn in Victorian academic libraries. Just do a search on "John Flynn" on Coolcat (http://www.coolcat.edu.au) and it'll turn up dozens of references. Pick a relevant one and click on the subject "John Flynn (1880-1951)" and you'll get a listing of books just on Flynn himself. --Robert Merkel 20:56, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)


Possible Wiki Links[edit]

I am currently testing an automated Wikipedia link suggester. Ran it on this article, here are the results:

  • Can link The Reverend: The Reverend John Flynn (25 November, 18...
  • Can link Northern Territory: ...ynn's life, the rock was taken ( bv the Northern Territory Department of Public Works) from a site...

Notes: The article text has not been changed in any way; Some of these links may be wrong, some may be right; You can leave positive feedback or negative feedback; Please feel free to delete this section from the talk page. -- Nickj 07:37, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

P.S. "bv the" should probably be "by the".

Aviator?[edit]

Was John Flynn really an aviator? I know he started an air ambulance service, but does that mean he flew himself? I'm prepared to be wrong, but if not we need to think about renaming this article.

Answer: John Flynn was a Presbyterian Minister. He was not an Aviator.

Seeing as no one has relied in nearly two months, I will go ahead and move this page to John Flynn (minister). Blarneytherinosaur 07:01, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced criticism?[edit]

The article contains the line "Much of the money donated to the RFDS over the next decades really went toward maintaining these prohibitions." It's uncited, and sounds POV pushing - not sure if a 'citation needed' would do the job, or if simply deleting the line would be better? Any input? MurfleMan (talk) 23:22, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't noticed that. Does sound like POV pushing, so I've removed it. We can always put it back in if someone can produce a source (anyone got the RFDS annual reports for the 1930s? :P ). Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 23:36, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Hughes, Postmaster-General[edit]

Who was this person? There's certainly been no Commonwealth Postmaster-General of that name - see Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy (Australia) - and Google gives me zero relevant hits for "Bob Hughes Postmaster General". -- JackofOz (talk) 23:36, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
