I, too, have long wondered about this very subject. If it was a question of range, the wing bomb cells could have been removed and replaced with fuel tanks, or fuel tanks could have been carried in the fuselage and bombs in the wing cells.
The Stirling could have easily carried search radar in either the under-fuselage area, a la H2S, or in underwing blisters like those fitted to late-model Sunderlands.
I have read that there were problems with the Rolls-Royce engines fitted to most of the Coastal Command Halifaxes, in that the engines did not well tolerate the long hours at the lower, warmer altitudes flown on search patrols. The Hercules, being air-cooled were better suited to this type of operation.

Wow, I’ve been called a lot of things, but ” astute ” was never on that list. Thanks. I had posted the same pics here back in December, but never received any replys. It was posted under the heading ” Canadian Lysanders “.

While on this subject, are there any pics about that show any of the few Heyfords that were used after the start of WWII? You know, the ones used for radio/radar calibration and the ones used as glider tugs.

I have a HP 7960 that does a wonderful job. It has various port that you can insert the card from your camera into. I bought it last spring for about $350 Canadian. I think it would be some what cheaper now.
