i dont suppose you know if that was a stirling that they used for paradrops as well?

I don't think that's a Stirling in the picture that you posted :rofl: ? I could be wrong, but I think all of the mid-upper turrets on the Stirlings were removed to conserve weight for glider-tug and resupply drop duties (your picture seems to show a mid-upper turret). Also the Stirling was a tail dragger. Therefore the tail area sat really low to the ground and had a sharp upward angle. The aircraft in the picture you posted seems to be of a tricycle type gear design. I believe it is an RAF Albemarle twin engined aircraft.
