I noticed that, but never mind the pics are fantastic.

Very true and I certainly enjoyed looking at them.

Christ that is an exact match angle and perspective wise, I would have said that it was a general illustration of any old Stirling before now but I think you’ve nailed it – good spot!

Just noticed the picture of the Stirling on the Feltwell site-

Could’ve been the inspiration for the Airfix Stirling box art-

Just a pity the 6 Sqn Hurricanes happen to be Spitfires and the crashed Ju 88 is a Bf 110 possibly the same one as in the other picture.. Sorry for nitpicking.

I see the serial number of the Beau is R2153, does anyone know anything of this machine’s history.
