Re: Early Stirling Report
And here is the relevant modification sheet that implemented the change to the pipework - there are some more pages but pretty much more of the same!
Nice to link documents I think, but note the difference in the dates which makes you wonder what 'Research Mods 3080' refers to, anyone know?

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 hinting that there was indeed a feed from ammo stored mid-ships?
I know that at least one early MKI (N6012) did have the mid-ships ammo boxes but I'd assumed that the servo/mid-ships ammo had been fittted in anticipation of having the right turret fitted in the future - perhaps though the turret could be modified? Perhaps it always could?
Back to the books for me!

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!
Will be posting more documents later Bruno, better on this site than in a dusty draw somewhere I think.
