I vaguely remember this TV advert. I can see now it is an ABC or Hunting Vanguard. But is it really flying over the cottage? - looks to slow to me.....

Vanguard in old TV commercial

Re: Vanguard in old TV commercial
On second thoughts, I think it is being flown as slow as possible, hence the flap. But where? East Midlands Airport? (Where they were based.)

ABC/Hunting were at East Midlands but in reality.. that shot could have been taken anywhere.

Note that it doesn't have its wheels down , so this clearly wasn't a normal approach
Re: Vanguard in old TV commercial
Oh sure. The sound proofing Windows would keep the noise from the Vanguard from coming down the chimney and rattling the foundation!

The late Ted Moult was a farmer at the village of Ticknall in South Derbyshire which is close to the climb out from r/w 27(or approach to 09) at East Mids. I remember going strawberry picking there many years ago!
It's possible that the ad was filmed somewhere in the locality.
I used to love the sounds of the Vanguards there and later the Electras of Air Atlantique. EricT
