I've just been browsing this interesting thread again and noticed this comment about the BSAA aircraft with only nine seats. Checking my fleet details reveals this could only have been one of two aircraft. BSAA only bought four of the Lancastrian II (with nine seats) and only two of those were subsequently used, with the others being broken up for spares. Therefore your flight must have been in either G-AKMW 'Star Bright' or G-AKTB 'Star Glory'. All the other BSAA Lancastrians used on passenger flights were the thirteen seat Lancastrian III. The two Lancastrian IV aircraft they owned were used for freight on the Berlin Airlift.
