In September 1991 this aircraft was acquired by the Namibian company West Air Aviation, registered V5-WAC and used to support World Food Program relief efforts in Angola flying out of Rundu Air base in Northern Namibia. This operation was halted in 1994 and in July that year the aircraft was reported damaged beyond repair in a landing accident "somewhere in Namibia". Some reports state that it was registered 9Q-CVK at the time of the accident, a registration also carried by 2 different HS Andovers and a Lockheed Electra!

Delivered to KLM as PH-DSI in July 1957 it was converted as a DC-7F in August 1962. In 1969 it was sold to Aer Turas as EI-ATV but quickly passed to Affretair as TR-LNZ. In 1979 it was leased to the Rhodesian AF as serial 7230 returning to Affretair, this time as VP-YTY, in 1980. In 1982 it was placed on the US register as N103LM, operating for La Mancha Aire, JBM & Sons and Million Air before acquired by Trans Air Link in February 1985. It was leased in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1998; little is known of its DRC time except that it was reportedly scrapped at Kinshasa in 2010.

Sold in November 1988 to Mesaba Airlines as N270MA.

After serving with BEA, British Airways, Air Bridge and Air Tenggara/Airfast this aircraft was withdrawn from service in 1983 and eventually scrapped at East Midlands Airport.
