a few bits of mangled scrap wont tell you enough, just enough to tease you…:dev2:

Couldn’t disagree more; drawings for the Stirling are few and far between, but ‘mangled scrap’ can and has been invaluable in assisting us to progress our project. The smallest item can give clues as to the designers rationale and may even be able to be incorporated into the build. Obviously we’re not restoring an airworthy aircraft, but how else are we to bring the aircraft back to life:confused:

Or in our case; where an aircraft is completely extinct, access to wreckage is vitally important in reproducing the fabric of the aircraft…..

No Russian tundra for us I’m afraid, been there, done that, got frostbite:diablo:

Cosford has the ACT Jaguar, and I have heard that one of the 55 or so G.I. airframes used by the school there is promised to the RAFM.

You’re quite correct, but as my nom de plume suggests I have more than a passing interest in Jags:o

I still find it hard to believe that an aircraft that did sterling service for this country for 34 years is still only commemorated (nationally) by a ‘trials’ aircraft which quite rightly belongs with the rest of such aircraft at Cosford. There may be 55 GI aircraft, but Jags have been retired now for 4 years, surely by now, one could have made the move:confused:

Well spotted, it should of course be that (a Type E):o…oops
