PH-ALR undertook two route proving flights to South Africa, the first in December 1938 and the second in January 1940 despite the outbreak of WWII. Crew and passengers departed Amsterdam by train and boarded the aircraft in Naples which had become the European terminus of KLM's East Indies route. Note neutrality markings.
