Stirling/ Halifax/ Lancaster wheels

Hi all, can anyone please confirm if British heavy bombers were fitted with the same size main wheels? There doesn’t seem to be that much information avalible regarding under carriages.

Thanks

As austernj673 said at the outset, there is little information about undercarriages that seems to be readily available. I am looking for a diagram of the Lancaster’s brake system. Does anybody have any ideas where I might find one?

…and Hastings main wheels were the same as a Lancaster. There’s not many people know that.

I think Halifax and Lancaster wheels were the same size, but the Stirling one’s were much bigger!!
