If anyone wanted to find which aircraft were produced by a particular manufacturer would they really look at this template on the off-chance that the manufacturer they're interested in is listed here ? - surely they'd look at either the article for the manufacturer or the appropriate category. Similarly what's so special about the Connie, Sweden and Imperial Airways that they get a mention here. This template doesn't show all lists of aircraft (e.g. the "List of ... variants" articles). The articles linked are a mix of list articles and non-list articles. Lots of lists that appear against "Civil aircraft" are mil+civ. ~~There are even links that are piped to something different to what it says in the template (e.g. the last link is not to an article about a specific conflict).~~ In short it's a mess. I propose that the vast majority of this template (apart from the "By name" section which may have a purpose) be removed.

I've started removing less useful bits of the template.

Is it possible that the military aircraft are sorted by type as the civil aircraft.
