 | The Hally and Stirling got used for a lot of other missions besides bombing aswell. Stirlings were used for Glider towing and transport as did the Hally. The Hally also got used by Coastal Command sinking several U-Boats

| ok sorry i aint been on for a day or two (you miss me??)............. but it's time to get some things cleared up, the lancaster was the best looking four engined bomber of the war, "bar none"........... secondly, CC, the stirling didn't do a great deal of bombing, but the halibag did, wherever there were lancs, there were bound to be a few halibags........... and yes the lanc is extremely versatile...............
