Morning Graeme. Yes he was but clearly not a Stirling. It was the Short S.31, a 2/3 prototype of the Stirling with 130hp pobjoy niagaras (decieving aren't they LM!).
Here she is in RAF colours...

Your control Graeme!
(and you have the same photo as me - not from Flight though!)

Thanks Mel. Like teusje, I thought it to be the S.42. I was convinced there was a bomb rack at the strut junction but proving just how dumb I can be, I kept googling "S.42 with bombs" believing that it had a wartime career. Only when you said otherwise did I start looking for alternatives. The power of suggestion?
Very nice challenge mate!
New "grainy" one...
