From the overall shape, particularly the tail, this looks like a civilianised B-17 Fortress.

Twin-engined military jet. Doesn't quite look like an English Electric Canberra but someone will know better

Is this a Bristol Freighter? - a type first flown in December 1945

Possibly a Vickers Viscount - fist flown in July 1948

This view certainly seems to suggest the aircraft here is a De Havilland Comet 1
