| Handley Page Halton |
Kay Aero has a long page about this aircraft with several excellent photos. It was derived from the Halifax bomber and served as an airliner for BOAC after the war. First flight in 1946, last one retired in 1961.

That is the same airplane in both images.
The name comes from English industrialist Sir Frederick Handley Page, head Handley Page Limited, known as the father of the heavy bomber.
