Photo Comment
The source wrongly states that this photo shows the departure of Skymaster '313' to the East Indies with members of parliament in 1946. Since the aircraft is NL-300, what we see here is almost certainly the departure of the first postwar flight to the East Indies (Indonesia) on 10 November 1945, captained by KLM chief pilot Dirk Parmentier.
