Re: Missing Short Stirling over Poland?
Quote:
By the time the single Sterling arrived to USSR nobody wanted it. It had departed from UK in Feb 1945 and arrived via Iraq in March. (SOC by RAF in March 1945) It was more or less dumped into the hands of the Polar Aviation Division and when a British mission arrived to help with the introduction during the Spring 1946 it was finally taken into service, but little used. What was Tuppaware OKB? Never heard of it. Why would anyone build 47 useless Sterlings postwar? Makes no sense what so ever. Cheers Stig |
