Thanks Brisfite and John,found the pictures in the books and sent copies to the son of the pilot for his birthday…LJ975 has proved a bit more difficult.The chaps dad mainly flew these two aircraft, LJ975 to Arnhem, later taking Stirling V`s from Stoney Cross to India until 1947.
Not Stirling Tail Wheels,They`re too small and would be numbered AH2282.My list says your wheels are fitted to : Warwick 3,4 and 6,Brigand TF Mk1,Met Mk3,B.Mk.1,T.Mk.5,Buckingham C.Mk1,Buckmaster,Frieghter,C. 202 and Hotspur1,2 and 3.
Apparently there were also Stirlings scrapped at Woburn Abbey ( photo on the `Airfield Exchange`)One chap I know in our village used to access them via the nose ladders.His brother removed a compass from one and still has it.
`Although I have a stack of the series DVD’s (including some unpublishable out-takes!) I have not yet seen the Stirling one`……..any chance of a copy of the Stirling one please Andy ?
