Stirling Photos

Post by bandlaw49 »

These photos passed through my hands a couple of years ago.....they came from a house clearance. I thought they might be of interest to the forum.

Hi John,
Nice set of photo's, thanks for posting. The airmen have no aircrew brevets, so most likely are the ground crew for that particular aircraft.
There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

Not wishing to tease anyone, because these items are long gone, but I thought it best to attach them.....perhaps someone can discern a bit of 'gen' from them!

Hi John

Great photos - thanks for posting. There must be loads of great pics lying around in attics, etc. It's great to get them out and air them to the people who are really interested.


Cheers
James
