Twin-engine aircraft G-AMRJ taking off from urban airfield with apartment buildings in background, 1940s-1960s

A twin-engine commercial aircraft with registration G-AMRJ captured during takeoff from what appears to be a European urban airfield. The black and white photograph shows the aircraft ascending over a fence-lined field with multi-story residential buildings in the background, typical of post-war aviation operations from smaller city airports during the 1940s-1960s era.
