Wow!

I’m very interested! I’m modelling a Stirling in 3D and researching a particular crash. The aircraft in question was one of the first and there was a massive amount of modification going on at the time and so I can’t really decide what the particular ‘fit’ was. The sort of variation was dorsal turret or not, ventral turret or not or removed, what sort of exhausts and position etc. I don’t suppose that there would be that much detail in the letters – but possibly clues!

Apart from that, research always generates a massive interest in a subject and with all the speculation as to why the Stirling had the wing span it did and other ‘failings’ I would imagine that these letters and photos would be fascinating, possibly giving the true story, clearly unique!

What are you proposing to do with them – can I have/see a copy please? Sorry, but not easy to be subtle with this subject!

Cheers
