Short Stirling

The Short Stirling, which he designed with Arthur Gouge,[6] first flew, as L7600, on 14 May 1939 at RAF Rochester in Kent with John Lankester Parker, the Short Chief Test Pilot. The aircraft suffered a brake seizure on landing and the undercarriage collapsed.

The aircraft was designed in response to the Air Ministry Directive B.12/36, issued on 9 July 1936.[7] It had Bristol Hercules I radial engines. The second prototype, L7605, flew on 3 December 1939. Production of the Stirling also took place in Belfast from June 1940.

The first production Stirling N3635 flew on 7 May 1940, with Hercules II engines. The Stirling Mk 1 entered service in August 1940 with 7 Squadron, with 756 being made. 1,047 were made of the Stirling Mk III, which entered service in 1942. 2383 Stirlings were made. The Stirling's first operation raid was on 10 February 1941 from RAF Oakington, and its first raid to Germany was on 17 March 1941.

He later designed a possible transatlantic four-engine airliner, the Short 14/38.[8]

Personal life

He lived in Gillingham, Kent. He married Nora Guest. He had one son, Dennis, with a grand-daughter Claire born in November 1950. [9]

He moved to Northern Ireland and lived at 28 Shandon Park East in Bangor, County Down. He died in April 1974 in Northern Ireland aged 86. The funeral was at St Comgalls church on Saturday 13 April 1974.[10]

His wife died on 4 May 1978, aged 90.

This often involved surrounding foreign cultures with mystique and fantasy which owed more to the culture of the people doing the exoticism than to the exotic cultures themselves: this process of glamorisation and stereotyping is called exoticisation.
