About to grease it on is this 1956 built 'Seven Seas' smartly painted in a livery that really suits it (IMHO). According to the book Wings Over Bermuda, it suffered an undershoot and partial landing collapse at Bermuda (TXKF), shortly after this date, on 3 December 1959. After some difficulty it was recovered and repaired to return to service. Later it flew with Saturn Airways as N90773 from 1963 to 1969, after which it was scrapped. Above accident data provided by Ewan Partridge.
