Making a stab, and trying to interprept the data on the photo, it is an Eastern-bloc type, possibly East German type. That's as much as i think i can see!! RR

Clue: The aircraft in the photo was built in 1946, and is powered by a British-built engine.

As a wild guess, and based on the green facias, I'll offer up the Tu-134. For those "in the know" I'm sure the suggestion maybe laughable but hey, ho..... RR
