Short S.29 Sterling Mk I Series II
Mk I Series II
The main change made for the Series II Stirling was the removal of the FN25A ventral turret. Provision was instead made to carry two .303in Browning machine guns in side windows in the fuselage (just as in the Wellington). The FN4A turret at the rear was also replaced by the superior FN20A, also with four .303in machine guns. Eighty aircraft were built in the first and second series of Stirlings.
