Stinson Reliant query

Problem being that by quoting me he is inferring that I knew that the information on that site was allegedly taken from another source. I do use Air Britain publications as and when I can afford them. I had/have no idea that the aforementioned site is using Air Britain’s material in this way.

I think you’re being unduly sensitive – as a reader of the posts I didn’t take that inference and saw you as just being helpful and that the criticism was of the website and not your actions. Like Lee I don’t take kindly to original researchers’ efforts apparently being plagiarized. I’ve been involved with A-B for 40 years and empathise with his comments as he’s one of the renowned experts in the FAA field.

Best wishes

Looked to me like that’s exactly what Lee was doing so what’s the problem?:confused:

Or maybe even check out the Air-Britain books that this site appears to lift all of its content from? 😡

Firstly, I don’t have the relevant Air Britain tirle, if I had that would have been the first place I looked. I did look in British Military Aircraft Serials 1878 – 1987 but obviously had no joy. I then used Google.

If you have a problem with the people who run that website I suggest you take issue with them and not with me. I’m just trying to help someone out.

It appears that FB544 was the first aircraft delivered to the Royal Navy so FB 546 could have been early on in the delivery run should the numbers have been issued on delivery as it were.

A long list of units had them. Good luck with the search.

Don’t know about the ownership. I believe it is based at a museum in Maryland.

I have merely been asked if I can float the question about the aircraft’s FAA service history on this forum – pun not intended.

Does he own this a/c?
