Hello K4KittyCrew,

Thanks for the information. I can't believe how little information there is about the Stirling on the web.
I have come across this however-
http://m.empedia.info/resource/813
Not very specific I know. But from the text I would think it relates to 1661 HCU.
Do you think it would be safe to assume LK561 would have been the same as the photographed aircraft in terms of camo and paint? Also the MK?

Thanks Chris

Hi Chris, I've sent you a 'PM' to clarify.
Cheers,
