The Ansons were one of many a/c that Coastal Command had to use; they were "sucking at the hind teat" for resources, as it were. They really wanted Lancasters, but Bomber Harris wouldn't let them have any. It's a tragedy, because thousands of Merchant Seamen died because of inter-service and political rivalries at Whitehall.
I see the plane as pretty much 'representative' of the many types that would have been thrown into the role of a/s.
