Short Stirling actuator

[Grey Eagle]

Any one knows where this electric actuator was located in a Short sterling??



thanks

This is likely a landing gear motor, there was one for each main landing gear. Some Sterling's had them located in the nacelle, later versions in the fuselage.

Hope this helps

Thank you it helps for sure because I found it close to gear related relics, but was not sure

Most welcome!

I should add that its a motor and gearbox assembly. You can just make out the universal drive at the bottom of the assembly.
