Re: A sting in the Tail !!!
A pretty early photo - is it in fact a Stirling?? I am inclined to think a Wellington?
Re: A sting in the Tail !!!
Hello David, nice to see you!
Yes I'd say a Wellington too. Got that thing must have been even worse than a conventional turret!

Funny you should mention that David and Alex, I was looking at it and thought something was not quite right, too.

I reckon Dennis would spot the non-Stirling pretty quickly.... only one tailwheel!

Hi Kookabat, I did in fact reply along those lines. My post must still be in orbit. You mayalready recall that my keyboard makes mistakes "Oh Yeah".

Sorry Chaps,
Yes a Wellington Mk.Ic I think from memory. On the back of the photo it states RAF Mildenhall.

Good afternoon Alex - my disguise "1" as an attempt an anonymity was blown ages ago - so yes - out my hand up. Trust you are well?
