Cheers

Notes by Sir Henry Tizard
Hi
Looks like the Stirling did have some good points! The photo is actually in focus, it's the typing that's fuzzy!

Re: Early Stirling Report
Here is the Mod for the Turret Rotation - Pity many of the Mod Sheets are missing. Your homework is to spot modified and unmodified fairings!

Re: Early Stirling Report
Hi I've clearly not read the first letter properly myself! It mentions spares for the rear ammunition turret feed arrangements. Now I had thought that the turret type fitted on the MkI did not have any 'servo feed' so the ammunition was stored in the turret. The note in the letter appears to be hint...

Re: Early Stirling Report

Re: Flight Engineer Station
Hi Colin Sadly I am very bad at recording information about the images, mainly because I only need to see build details for my model. I would note that this must be a later Stirling as there is a bulkhead door between the nav and the engineer but that's about it. The pic you like isn't rare, I have ...
