Lockheed Constellation

Might be a L-049 or L-749A. Note that, except G-ANUR sold in July 1962, all the B.O.A.C's Constellations were removed from the park during the period 1955/1958.

'M' letter on the front landing gear. 2x aircraft could match:

G-ALAM a L-749A which entered service with B.O.A.C in June 1948, and crashed in March 1954 at Singapore.
Must be a pre-1954 archive. Another aircraft of the type in the background.

De Havilland DH106 Comet 1

All the Comet 1 or Comet 2 from B.O.A.C were removed for several years at the time of the film 1961. Must be an older picture.
