Short S.29 Sterling Mk II
Mk II
The Mk II was to be a Stirling variant built in Canada using Wright Cyclone R-2600-A5B radial engines, giving 1,600 hp. Four prototypes were produced in England, but tests in the autumn of 1941 were disappointing, and in early 1942 the project was cancelled. Canadian manufacturing capacity could be better used on other aircraft.
