Re: Stirling R9190 of No.218 Squadron
Great photos Steve, thanks for posting them.
The second photo ( Stirling in the drink ) looks like the nose / front canopy, has been squashed / pushed in by the impact? ............. or did the canopy always 'sit up' as such?

John,
The cockpit canopy was rather raised, but I think on this occassion it was more from damage.
Cheers
