Re Russian Stirling
The Stirling Project used to have newsletters and No 10 which on its front page had a picture of a painting of a Stirling from XV Squadron returning from Turin by Philip West 04/02/43 ( which my father was also on ) had on its second page wholly devoted to this supposed Russian Stirling.
Unfortunately all these newsletters went off line when they changed website which was a pity.
The final note was from Andy Vernon Aug 2008 who as Air Attache was leaving Moscow and due to bad relations with Russia at that time ( what's new there ) said his replacement had been refused a visa. He also mentioned it was beyond the authority of the Russian Air Force to investigate. It needed to go further up the political chain.
Guess nothing more has transpired??
