Stirling Bits
Just out of interest, are there enough Stirling bits and pieces floating around for one to be assembled? There certainly seems to be enough enthusiasm and experts! What a stunning project that would be, sitting up on that humungous undercarriage!
Hello FN, There is very little Stirling stuff about,when I started collecting it in 1989,people I met were all too keen to exchange Stirling Fittings for Lancaster stuff,The Stirlings rightly or wrongly didn`t have the same allure.There are now however a few Lanc `homebuilds` some superbly engineered from nothing.The biggest loss to the Stirling `cause` I feel was when a pile of cockpit airframe which came out of a riverbank was scrapped about ten years ago.it really was in superb condition.If I see anything Stirling these days ,I try to get it and worry about the money later,the stuff appears when people are skint then is bought and goes to ground again.I saw an escape hatch on an `auction site` which, true, went for alot of money,but I wish I`d bought it now as to make one would take some serious time and never be original.
