cirtainly not, we were just showing the jerries that we weren't scared, we were simply saying that "we find you so scary we're sending ansons to defeat you........"
You know one of the first aerial attacks on submarines in WWII was taken by Ansons, one accidentally bombed HMS Seal with the existing anti-submarine bombs. The only damage done was that a couple of lightbulbs were blown
it's strange really, when you think about it, anti-shipping went full circle in WWII, we started using bombs against ships, then torps and mines, and then with the sinking of the Tirpitz it went back to bombs again........
