Am I right in saying the Shackleton was a mutant Lanc (of sorts) albeit a very attractive one?

I think the tail draggers were.
Lancaster begat Lincoln which begat Shackleton. You need to change out the engines and wings and fuselage to get from one to the other.
I'll leave the decision to you.

It had a certain gawky charm and was where Barnes -Wallis perfected his geodesic aircraft construction. Because the fuselage couldn't have bomb bay doors fitted the bombs were carried in underwing panniers.
We did some odd things to the Vulcan as well
And we bent a Ten beyond use doing this...

Aside from many, many pictures of cats, the internet turns up all sorts of information. For all you wanted to know about the Vickers Wellesley (But were afraid to ask).:

Always wondered why we never used them to close the Atlantic gap, they had a well proven long range capacity.

Among the thousands of buttons needed is a 'There's a thought' one. Fifteen hours plus in one would be arduous in comparison to a Sunderland.
I would suspect fifteen hours in a Sunderland wouldn't be a bed of roses, but at least you could stretch your legs a bit and have a brew.
The Wellesley had a rudimentary auto pilot and the long range versions could stay airborne for over 36 hours.

Having walked through the one at Hendon, having a galley that would be ok in a modern studio flat was nice but having a work bench with vice and tool rack was as cool as a cool thing. Plus as you say you could go for a walk.
