Photo Comment

An early Stirling Mk.V, presumably pictured on 27 June 1944. An unarmed transport variant of the outdated Stirling bomber, the Mk.V had an upward-hinging glass nose and a cargo door on the starboard side of the fuselage. 162 examples were built, most of them after the end of the war in Europe.
