You've omitted the Blackburn Roc and Supermarine Spitfire floatplanes, the Short Seaford and Shetland flying boats. The Saunders Roe SR.A/1which didn't fly until after the war. Fairey Sea Fox. Supermarine Walrus and Sea Otter. The Handley Page Hampden, originally used as maritime recce bomber, then minelayer then torpedo bomber. Bristol Bolingbroke, coastal patrol. Avro Anson, coastal patrol. Bristol Blenheim IV, coastal recce bomber. Lockheed Hudson and derivatives, maritime patrol. Consolidated Privateer aka Liberator. So the Brits designed and operated many twins in the early part of WW2 in an overwater role, so somewhere between 10 - 20 thousand. Also the Whitley, the Wellington, the Warwick and the Flying Fortress used by Brits in Maritime role. Soviets used Douglas Boston as torpedo bomber, being rated by them as their best.
