Anything similar carried beneath any aircraft not designed for that purpose would look less than aerodynamic.:rolleyes:

Everything about the Stirling is BIG!:p

Good progress is being made, good news for
2010.

This is turning into a surviving Tiffy bits thread, not that I mind though.
But I noticed that the Belgian Sabre engine bits that were donated to BAHAAT a few years ago have been restored and put on display.
Where’s EHVB when you need him;)

This is the one, they turned it into a Martinet instead. Not that I object though, it’s a magnificent project.

Mine was from another source but is the same as the link…crying shame about this one although the RAF were just as bad with their last one, well before they found out there was a spare in the US!!!

There have been a number of rumours of a pair of wings surviving in France…never been confirmed. You never know they could be from this machine and somewhere in Belgium instead 🙂 one can dream I suppose 🙂

Dave,

Rumours always start somewhere, where did they originate from? I also remember that in the early flypast days Mike Cookman usually had an ad asking for any Typhoon bits and there was one rumour about a set of wings being used as a fence in Britain. Same rumour but different countries?

I was told that the Stirling wings resemble the Sunderland but not quite. Pity as that Chatham Island wreck would have made a nice opportunity to source them.

John,

How about the various connectors to the “black boxes” in the wireless postion? The thick cables (wirewound or whatever they were called) together with the various connectors, do you have those as well. Are these sourceable in the UK? The RAF bombers were crammed full of them.
Cheers
