Named for the Dutch city of Venlo, like KLM's first Constellation, PH-TAV. PH-TFF arrived in 1949. On 23 March 1952 this aircraft burnt at Bangkok - Don Muang after the number 3 engine caught fire and a propeller blade slashed into the fuselage in flight. There were no casualties thanks to a brave Thai ground mechanic who rescued a baby boy left on board.
