That first picture of the Stirling is interesting. Looks like they are loading two 2000lb Cookies on, along with a load of incendiaries'. not very often that you see a pictures of these type of Cookies. They were fitted with a parachute in the tail for stabilization once the bomb was dropped.

Here attached is a loadout for a Lancaster. I got this somewhere off the net.

It may be sea mines being loaded into the Stirling.

Yes you may be right. The front does look different to the Cookie.
