No it is not. The Lancaster used Merlin Water cooled engines. The Halifax used Radials. Try again buddy.

Nope. It's Halifax. The cockpit and front snout are clearly Halifax Mk.I.

Lancaster for comparison.

Early series of the Halifax actually used Merlyn engines and the ball nose turret similar to the Lancaster. At first glance, you could hardly tell them apart.
