#1 The Stirling was the first four-engine heavy bomber to serve with the RAF. It was largely obsolete by 1942, but it went on to acquire a second lease of life as the foremost aircraft delivering SAS raiding parties and agents of the SOE deep into enemy-occupied lands.

#2 The Stirling, a bomber, was used to transport the SAS raiding party to France. The exit point, known as the trap, was a large bathtub-like aperture through which to jump. It was much better than the dorsal gun turret in the Whitley, which was replaced by a narrow steel tube.

#3 The interior of the thundered as it crossed the night-dark waters of the Channel. Lieutenant John H. Wiehe, one of the two French-speakers on the team, was in charge of remembering the all-important rum.

#4 In the summer of 1944, Captain Patrick Garstin was twenty-four years old and serving with the Royal Ulster Rifles. He had had to fight every inch of the way to be allowed a frontline role. He was heading deep into enemy-occupied France with fiery havoc and mayhem in mind.
