This beautiful old bird flew originally with KLM as PH-TFL and then PH-DFL. It joined Adria Aviopromet in June 1962 and flew with them until 1972, when the plane was withdrawn and placed on display.

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.

Obviously a VIP aircraft and probably using call-sign "SAM 33234". If anyone recognizes the tail badge, I'd like to know. In 1981 it was registered to Northern Air Cargo as N4213X and cancelled 15 August 2006, having previously been scrapped.
