Leased to Avianca as CP-142 1947, returned 1950 and used for many years on internal German services. T.A. Mirfeni LV-HJC 1962, Aerovias Halcon 1964, Southern Cross 1969. Reimported to US as N88903 1971 for Basler Flight Services but its ultimate fate seems unknown. KLM CV-440 PH-CGB is parked on the right.
