Nope, my point was that the Lancaster was not operational in 1940 and, therefore, it shouldn't feature much in a programme about the Battle of Britain and that also meant that the name
Battle of Britain Memorial Flight was a touch misleading. If I'd wanted to say that the BoB was fought solely by Fighter Command can you guess what I'd have said? That's right, I'd have said: "The Battle of Britain was fought solely by Fighter Command" but you'll notice that's not what I said because it wasn't what I wanted to say nor is it something I believe. The Battle of Britain was fought by everybody, serviceman and civilian alike.
I certainly attempt to make what I say clear by saying what I actually mean. You will find that your understanding of things becomes clearer if you read what is written.
