Only that my 98 year old father flew a RAF 38 Group 620 Squadron Stirling from 1942-45. He might be in the picture. All the Stirlings were dismantled after the war. To my knowledge there is not one left.

Congratulations to your father. That is an incredible stretch of time for anyone in Bomber Command even with rotations in and out of combat duty.

May I reiterate what Eric has already said - your father deserves praise for his long service in Bomber Command. 620 Squadron was involved in the D-Day landings and Operation Market Garden, as well as dropping supplies to the French Resistance.

There are no complete Stirlings left, however there is a group in the UK that is trying to collect enough parts to make a complete one.

Thanks Simon. You are exactly right about the wartime activities my father was involved in. I did not know an attempt at building a Stirling was underway. I would love to see one.
