Getting that number of English Electric's finest in one place for real would be a pretty challenging project nowadays.
In the film "The Aviator", 2004, about Howard Hughes, there is a scene where Leonardo di Caprio, as Hughes, is standing in front of a whole line of five or more Lockheed Connies, in full TWA livery.

Self, plus another adjacent chap, likewise not of younger years, both suddenly sat upright in our cinema seats in London trying to pick out just how it had been done and which Connie model they had based it on.

Wasn't one of you lot, was it ? Film CGI technology has doubtless moved even further on in the intervening 13 years.
