This aircraft commenced operations for Pan Am in 1946, registered with the "NX" prefix denoting "experimental". At some stage, it was sold/transferred to Avianca Columbia as C-114. On February 15, 1947, C-114 crashed into Mount El Tablazo enroute from Barranquilla to Bogotá, Colombia, killing all 53 people on board - which at the time, was the worst commercial airline crash in history. Just visible under the rear fuselage, a Pan Am Boeing B-314 is partly visible. Pan Am flying boat services were terminated on 9 April 1946 and were replaced by land-based aircraft such as the DC-4.

First registered to Western Airlines in April 1946 as N10203, it was sold to Australian National Airways (ANA) in July 1947 as VH-ANG. Then to British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines (BCPA) in April 1948 as VH-BPD before being purchased by QEA in May 1949 as VH-EBM. After being with them for ten years it was sold to Zantup Air Transport (N600Z) and probably converted for cargo operations. In April 1962 it was purchased by Trans Mediterranean Airways (OD-AEC) but crashed on 9 July 1962. (Photographer Unknown)

Why this aircraft was in New Zealand then is unrecorded, but TEAL - New Zealand's national airline - did later lease TAA DC-4s for services when Sandringham flying boats were grounded and for services from Christchurch. Ordered new by TAA and entered service on 4 November 1946. Leased to British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines from April 1948 to February 1949 and registered as VH-BPB. Returned to TAA and registration renewed as VH-TAB but name changed to "John Gilbert". Later converted to a freighter in 1959. Renamed "David Collins". Sold in 1970.
