  1. Not really. The Stirling was also intended to be a troop transport, intended to move troops to far flung areas, with limited airfields, from which it would then supply bombing support. As a 1936 design, the Stirling was a leader in its field. The tanks were not designed to fit onto carriages, but onto the British loading gauge, which was smaller than European or American ones. Again, a down-side to being the first in the field. Carriages could easily be modified, but tunnels, platforms, and lineside features couldn't.
