The Photographic
Archive |
|
The Archive was first set up in 1989 with the sole intention of collecting as many
Stirling Bomber related photographs as possible. The collection has grown over the years and despite one very serious setback it has continued to be a source of material for everyone who wishes to gain access. Authors of forthcoming books relating to the Stirling are also welcome to contact me for relevant photographs and provided I have them I will supply prints suitable for publishing.
Not only are there photographs of the aircraft but also a large number depicting the
crews and groundcrews who flew and maintained the Stirling. These are an important part of the archive and those who died on operations are not forgotten as they have pages specially set up in their memory. Many of the pictures of the groundcrew show them working in their various trades and one gets a good insight of the many difficulties encountered servicing such a large aircraft.
Each photograph is mounted in one of many large albums and carries a caption
containing a fully researched description of the subject.
If you have any photographs of the Stirling or of your crew or groundcrew that you
would like to include in the archive then I would be only too pleased to hear from you. Please click the link to my e mail address. |
