: Last June I had the pleasure of going on a guided tour of
: the RAFM's store at Wyton, where the Stirling wreckage was
: then stored. When I asked one of the staff there what was
: going to happen to it I was told that one option they wer
: e considering was to cut out the upper turret area, instal
: l a dummy turret and have it at Hendon as a "hands on" act
: ivity for the kids!!! Hopefully, wiser heads will prevail!

I'd like to think that the idea will remain just that - an idea. I know the RAFM were offered an interactive exhibit along those lines a couple of years ago and turned it down quoting Health and Safety regulations. And the piece they were offered was far less rare than a Stirling!
