This 312 was originally delivered to KLM as PH-AGE in January 1984. It went to MEA in March 1982 and is pictured taxiing out to rw28 for departure back to Beirut (BEY). The plane later underwent freighter conversion and flew for FedEx as N443FE, before being wfu and ferried to Victorville (VCV) in November 2015 and scrapped in March 2024.

Photo dated 1955 by the source but this Viscount was built for MEA in 1957, and the titles indicate that the photo is from the 1960s.
