Judging by the size, the pulley could be one of 2 that sit directly below the first pilot and are for IIRC the elevator controls. At first I thought the tubular piece could be part of the Pilots seat, but that’s mag alloy, I’ve seen something like it in the cockpit area but I can’t quite place it.

Sorry can’t help any more

Hi Scott

Phenolic pulleys were used just about everywhere, to put it another way we needed to get somewhere in the region of 120 just for the forward fuselage section!

I don’t recognise the Pt No unfortunately, generally speaking Stirling Pt Nos are 7 digit and normally begin with 029, 129, 229 etc. I take it you have one to hand so an idea of size would be helpful or a photo

cheers

Drifting back to the thread, how simliar is a Sunderland wing to a Stirlings ? ( thinking Halifax / Hastings at Elvington ) If you had a Sunderland wing, could it be used / converted ?

Unfortunately not I’m afraid. I’m no expert on the wing design but I’m pretty confident that although following a similar design process they are completely different

I could always live in hope a Stirling resides in some deep, cold, low-saline, low-oxygeniated water waiting to be discovered. Did they fly any missions over Norway perchance?

They did and one was found by a dive team in a fjord several years ago; unfortunately the water was badly contaminated with tannins and the aircraft had gone in from altitude so there was very little left of it.

EF311 would definitely be a good candidate. 😎

Four for me

Tony Agar’s Mosquito at Elvington
David Collins recreating the Hornet
The Stirling Project
The last Trident 1C at Sunderland

Thanks for the Stirling vote Dave:D

For my part I’d like to recommend David Collins with his Hornet as he’s had to relearn deHavillands manufacturing methods and done so to a very high standard
