Short Stirling & RAF Bomber Command Forum

Hello

I've commissioned a model as a memorial and tribute to the crew and 11 paras who were lost with the above aircraft. It was lost on DDay with no trace ever found.

To make it as realistic as possible I'd like a photo of the plane showing the nose art. The plane was known as Hellzapoppin'

I'd also like to know any other details such as how many missions etc

Is there any archives that I could obtain photos and service records for the aircraft?

Or better still does anyone have them or access to... Long shot I know.

Thanks

Andrew
