The gap is aircraft used during WW2 and after WW2.

Spitfire? Beaufighter? 'Fraid not.
I forgot to mention - Jan's answer is a sort of clue in itself.

Ok they've all served with RAF Coastal command.
The ones at the bottom weren't in use at the end of WW2, either yet to come or already out of use.

For me the first group contains the planes which were designed to carry something (people or bombs) while the second are different "hunters" (day/night fighters, submarine-hunters).

Nope.. Neptunes were hunters and killers... but I don't think that Spitfires would not have been used for coastal patrolling.

Spitfires were used for Air Sea Rescue...
but so were Lancaster, Warwick and some if not most of the others...

All very imaginative answers so far.
Another clue: the answer has nothing directly to do with air operations, coastal or otherwise.

Coastal patrol is different to air/sea rescue..

ok, 2 stabs in the dark...probably both wrong :-)
1 woman flew all these during her ATA days?
or
they've all used the same engines at one time or another?

Total guess related to manufacture.
They've all been built by Vickers, the latter list at Castle Bromwich.

Here's a clue: you might find a road map helpful. I'll not say of where, but think of the places in the UK where Coastal Command airfields were at their densest.

I tried to do something like, what squadrons flew from where and what did they fly but couldn't make it match.
248 for example, flew Beau's and Mosquitoes in the north,west,east and south.
The gap is geographic? The Thames?

Warren has narrowed it down a bit. Think more south-west, and remember: it's not directly related to air operations, and a road map would be helpful.
This is starting to sound like Round Britain Quiz ... that's not a good thing!

Imaginative reply by jaypee there, but you need to think of a saint in the south-west of England, not off its coast.
