Looking for the Stirling Bomber

No I've not gone mad!

Prune is my first port of call on this.......

My Grandfather In-law was shot down in his Stirling during WW2 over Germany. He was a rear gunner and has told me many a fascinating story. Not only would I like to find out a little about his crew/Sqdn, but I'd love to know if there is a Stirling bomber still in existence, or a rebuild/restore anywhere?

He tells me there isn't but I know what the wonders of Prune can do

Any info greatly appreciated....

No Sterlings exist Maz. Bit and pieces of fuselage, but no whole aircraft. Unless anyone else knows different

If you can give me a last name and approxiamate date of loss, I'm sure I can put something together for you.

Cheers...Chris

Thanks guys

Moose - I am gonna try and get as much info as I can (pending permission of course - Alf may not want me to - he is still alive and well).

I hope I can come back to you soon

Best wishes
Lee
