Delivered new in 1948 as PH-TPB then re-registered PH-DPB in 1954. It became PJ-DPB in 1958 for ALM and here likely on ferry from/to the West Indies. Sold to Nordair as OY-AOJ in 1964 then operated by Interocean of Luxembourg in 1965. On 10 July 1975 at Bogotá-Eldorado Airport (SKBO), while registered HK-756, it was struck on the ground by a departing Electra and destroyed by fire.
