Narrative:
FAA inspectors came in to review the paperwork on an aircraft I had worked on. I was under stress at the time and gave them the wrong revision of the manual, not the one which was most most current. I did not realize that the manual I gave them was the wrong rev number, but later, when they asked, I produced the correct rev number manual. They told me there was a question about the one which I had given them. There were no real safety issues between revisions anyway. I simply handed them the wrong 1 of 2 which were here. I was not even aware that there was an older revision date until they told me so. So just because I gave them the wrong one, they are accusing me of not having the correct one.
