Info & parts require for Reliant FB768 in British service

Posted by Tony Edmonds on Thu May 01, 2003 07:42:57 PM

Hi Everyone

I'm trying to find out for a friend in the Nevada wing of CAF details about AT-19 Stinsons in RAF and FAA service and in particular FB768 which his wing are restoring.

It is known that she served with both the RAF and FAA during the war and they would like help in finding out the following information

1 Which RAF & FAA units did she serve with.
2 What was the colour scheme and markings that she carried whilst with those units.
3 Would anyone know of any photos of her that exist of her or any other Stinsons

They are also looking for some bits to help them complete her restoration. They need some bits for an F24 aerial surveillance camera accessories, they are desperate for the 12 volt motor and flexible drive cable for this camera. They also need all the UK supplied radio gear including the manual tuning crank for the 1147 receiver etc. etc.

If any one can point me in the right directions I would be grateful. Anyone know who the right people in RAF Museum, FAA Museum and IWM would be to check to see if they have any of the above details or even parts.

Many Thanks

Tony Edmonds
