Replacing an earlier scanned slide with a better version 24-Jul-22 (DeNoise AI).

The grey tank, bottom right, says 'Drinking Water'. By the look of the rubber hose, I think I'd give the tea/coffee a miss...

Named: "Leonardo da Vinci".

Leased from / operated by KLM, in KLM's full livery with additional "On Charter for Aer Lingus Irish International Airlines" stickers.

Delivered new to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines in Oct-57 as PH-VIF, the aircraft was wet-leased to Aer Lingus in full KLM livery in mid 1965 and was sold to Aer Lingus as EI-AOE in Sep-65.

It was leased to Swiss Company SA de Transport Aerien as HB-ILP for the summer season from Mar/Nov-69. the aircraft was retired on it’s return and stored at Dublin. It was broken up there in Jul-72.
