That aircraft is a Vickers 953 Vanguard. TCA had 23 of them. (50 Viscounts.) They served between 1961 to November of '71. (Merchantmen flights 'til May of '72.) It was powered via four, 5545 shp Rolls Royce Tyne turboprops. She was 124 feet long.
This [postcard] photo would have been taken no later than 1962. (Probably '61.)
Data is via memory only; Google would have more data. ☺
