Would any of the land based aircraft in development at the time have been able to match the Shetland in terms of payload/range - a copy of janes says 7,620lb for 4,650 miles, 22,000lb for 3,000 miles or 30,025lb for 2,076miles all at around 184-188mph.

It seems B-29 was more impressive.
6760 km with 8000 kg (4200 miles with almost 18000 lbs).

And unlucky Me.264
1500 km with 2000 kg (about 9000 miles with 4400 lbs)
6500 km with 4000 kg (transport variand, 4000 miles with 8800 lbs).

With additional fuel tanks the range of transport variant should increase up to 13600 km.
