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.

This airframe was delivered in 1954 as an L-1049C, before it had undergone some modifications in 1956, which made it an L-1049E. The registration was cancelled in 1965 and the aircraft was scrapped for the parts to be sold.

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.

Delivered new in 1953 as PH-TGI then re-registered as above. Sold to Mohawk Airlines in 1964 as N4408, then to Mackey International in 1975. Cancelled in 1979 as scrapped. [A poor quality shot, but worth uploading for the famously wet Prestwick weather - check out the bow wave.]
