Delivered new in November 1957 and sold to Aer Lingus as EI-AOM in November 1966. On 24 March 1968, while en route from Cork (EICK) to Heathrow (EGLL) the aircraft crashed into the Irish Sea following a loss of control. Officially the cause was unknown, but (in the absence of FDR/CVR) circumstantial evidence pointed to a LH tailplane failure followed by an inverted spin.

Photographer unknown. This evocative scene depicts this KLM "Seven Seas" starting engines at New York Idlewild. To the left are KLM L-749 Constellation PH-LDE and a TWA L-1649 Starliner, while on the upper right a Lufthansa L-1049 is parked. An American Electra can also be seen taxiing across the airport. The main subject of the photo, PH-DSB, flew with KLM only from 1957 to 1962. It then passed through the hands of several second-line owners before eventually being broken up at Fort Worth/Amon Carter in 1974.
