Whenever I'm surfing the net for details / photos of Short Stirlings, I see many images from a selection of artist but have declined to post them. However, Having seen this drawing, I thought it was worthy of posting. My only criticism, if any, is the the nightfighter is too large and too close to the Stirling. Still, a marvellous effort.

Gotta agree with the wrong dimensions, but also adding that the Stirling fuselage is a little on the long side as well. Other than that, it's a nice drawing.

I've been researching my uncle's war time experiences, and today purchased the squadron records for 214 Squadron while he was there. I read for their bombing operation on Mannheim on September 5th 1943: "The aircraft was attacked by an ME110 on bombing run. Stirling not damaged but ME's port engine was left on fire." I'm very pleased to find a picture of a 110 attacking a Stirling!

A lucky crew, as they also had a combat a few nights earlier on the operation to Berlin, when they encountered a JU88.
