   Both the Halifax and the Lancaster used Merlins - though the   
   approximately 2000 Halifax Mk. IIIs and 300 Lancaster Mk.IIs used   
   Hercules radial engines instead of the Merlin inlines.   
      
   I think there's but two airworthy Lancasters remaining - one with the   
   Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in England (though the Lancaster   
   entered service long after the BoB was over - but heh, close enough!)   
   and the other with the Canadian War Plane Heritage group in Ontario, Canada.   
      
   Don't think there are any airworthy Halifaxes remaining so it was likely   
     one of the Lancasters.
