Country:  | It might make this more interesting, or you'll just walk into a dead end because the Lancaster was better.

| The Halifax was used in more roles than the Lanc but that was because the Lanc was too valuable as a bomber to pass along to other roles.

| Because Bomber Command could afford to spare the Halifaxs because it had all the Lancs it needed to fulfill it's bombing missions.

| I was pointing out that the Halifax could be used for these other roles because the bomber mission was filled so well by the Lanc.
