49 Squadron crew speculation for loss on the ground

Flight Engineer Station
Dear all I have a request in relation to finding any examples of internal images of the Stirling Flight Engineer station. Pino has kindly provided some small images showing the station but I very much would like an example with the Flight Engineer present. This is proving frustratingly difficult.......

Re: Early Flight Engineer Training
This is without doubt the knowledge base for the Short Sterling but we appear to be coming up short on Flight Engineer information.
