The article was last edited nearly 10 years ago, so I'm guessing no-one will mind too much if I develop the citation and use the Harvard style, one one I'm used to. Amitchell125 (talk) 17:10, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Seems the Stranaer was named for a town in Scotland. – Sca (talk) 15:12, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

In this edit (nonsense removal) the purpose of sweeping the wings (with two citations) was changed to be something to do with centre of pressure (fluid mechanics). It previously stated that the wings had been swept back to restore the centre of gravity which makes perfect sense to me, the replacement metal propellers were heavier than the wooden ones so the wings were swept back to move their mass rearwards to correct the CG.
Moving the centre of pressure rearwards would have a nose down pitching effect, exacerbating that caused by the heavier propellers. 
I don't have access to either of the two sources, perhaps someone could confirm that the replaced text was correct? Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 08:39, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
