[edit] Status of Major Green?

In the previous version of this page, the designer of the aircraft was listed as Major F. M. Green, formally Chief Engineer of the Royal Aircraft Factory. I have changed this to formerly of the RAF; this seems more likely. Am I misunderstanding the situation? If somebody has firm data on Major Green's status when he designed the aircraft, feel free to revert my change. Thanks. Raymondwinn (talk) 22:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

A quick google found [1] which says The Armstrong Siddeley company began aero engine development and production when the Royal Aircraft Factory ceased building production engines from February 1917. In January of that year major F M Green left the Royal Aircraft Factory to join Siddeley-Deasey Motor Car Company as chief aeronautical engineer - so you are right he was formerly of the Royal Aircraft Factory.
