A bank holiday daystop was the one and only occasion the Electra would be seen during daylight, night shots being impossible for obvious reasons. Note the "Chartered from A/S Fred. Olsens Flyselskap" titles on the nose. The flight engineer had turned propellers straight for the daystop which was standard procedure with some carriers.

This aircraft was mainly used for cargo services at night, the colourscheme representing a sky at night with moon.
