Ironically, the plane I mention was the last ever scheduled flight of a Dakota into Elmdon Airport, as this aircraft was being disbanded.
Sorry, but I'm pretty sure you're wrong there; Dakotas were regularly working scheduled flights in & out of Elmdon until well into the 1960s, possibly even the very early 70s, and the last DC-3 in service was grounded only in 2008. It may have been the last BEA Dakota into Elmdon, as I believe they were replaced in the BEA fleet by Vickers Vikings and Viscounts around that time. In fact there's a Viscount beyond the terminal building on the postcard.
