Apparently the Air Transport Auxilliary always three pointed the heavies (Lancaster, Halifax and Stirling) whereas the RAF always wheeled them on.

The Ju52/3M transport Pilot's Notes specified that the aircraft should be wheeled on as three pointing it when fully loaded would put unacceptable strain on the fuselage.
