SPARE A THOUGHT FOR THE FORGOTTEN BOMBER!

The Short Stirling was the RAF’s first operational four-engined bomber and in its day was an advanced and formidable aeroplane. It followed a line of highly successful four-engined flying boats, the "Empire" class, built by Short Bros. during the nineteen-thirties.

History has been unkind to the Stirling. As far as we know, not a single example survives, out of the 2383 constructed. Even the manufacturer's drawings have been destroyed! The Stirling Project aims to remedy this.
