Description

This Short Stirling B.Mk III represents RAF No.218 Squadron aircraft EF452 in 1943. As one of the RAF’s early four-engined heavies, it captures the distinctive broad-winged look of the Stirling in Bomber Command service during a critical stage of the war.

A strong addition to any WWII RAF bomber collection, especially for displays focused on lesser-seen heavy bombers and operational Bomber Command subjects. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy historically significant aircraft with real presence.
