No disagreements there at all, WHBM. In fact, when I referred to the Lanc's "continuation", I must admit I was thinking more of the Shackleton, rather than its civil applications, which of course also includes the York. As you say, none of those was anything to write home about, especially when compared to a contemporary such as the Douglas C-4 (Skymaster, DC-4). Perhaps the Viking was an exception, although even BEA retired theirs in favour of the Dak, which was cheap and plentiful.
If nothing else, the above underlines Britain's obvious priority at the time was warplanes, with a few unworthy
"Band Aid" conversions of bombers towards new peacetime transport roles.
However, regarding Noyade's post, I'll stick with my original Lanc and Mozzie as glaring omissions from the
"Great & Famous Aircraft" list, but upon reflection, I'm now adding the Comet and Viscount!
