The dates on this article seem to be inconsistent. The picture is labeled as a 1948 Bay Super V when the originating type (Beechcraft C53) was not introduced until 1953. It appears from the cited court case that Oakland Airmotive didn't enter the picture until 1958, and it is not known when David Paterson developed his initial conversion.

Reading some more into it -- internet links (refer to external link at Beechcraft Historical Museum) state the conversion was developed by David Peterson (pilot for Sinclair Oil) c. 1955-56. The picture is most likely a 1958-vintage Super-V.

update: Reg N551B is SV113, which is one of the later Canada-built Super-Vs (c. 1962). The donor Beechcraft Bonanza may date back to 1948. Mliu92 (talk) 04:53, 9 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

The story related in an earlier edit is actually quite interesting -- here the contributor is relating a first-hand account of the fate of SV116. Can I clean this up and add it to the "Specific Aircraft" section? Mliu92 (talk) 05:13, 10 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I give you permission. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.183.60.182 (talk) 16:25, 20 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Super V / Super-V

edit

To hyphen, or not to hyphen? The article is currently inconsistent, so I was going to standardize. Looking through the references, though, I see it referred to both ways. Flying Mag called it "Super-V". TCDS shows "Super V" in the header, but "Super-V" in the approval title and a note. "Super-V" seems better to me, is there a consensus?
