Great subject, I have to do one this year as well so I will be paying close attention.

FYI No.1, the March issue of Flypast or Aeroplane (can't remember which one) has a nice article on the Stirling if you are looking for extra material. A forgotten airplane, no examples exist today, it will be great to see your work bring it back to life.

If I were a billionaire one of the first things I'd do is resurrect a Stirling to airworthy, from scratch if necessary! The airplane's performance may have been less than the Halifax and Lancaster but I really find the Stirling fascinating, especially that undercarriage!

With a patched-up, taped-up forward fuselage, also!  :-cool

I have been hardly interrupted with some homework so all of my work is delayed.
