Another summer scene from Riem’s old viewing terrace in the late 1960s - EC-BEO has just landed on runway 25 and is taxiing in to the ramp in front of a mostly attentive audience.

 

Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding:

A late build DC-7C, this aircraft was delivered to Alitalia in Jun-58 as I-DUVU. It was sold to Martin‘s Air Charter in Mar-66 as PH-MAK, they sold it to Liberty Air in Mar-67. It was sold again in Jun-67, to Spanish charter Airline TAE Trabajos Aereos Enlaces SA as EC-BEO.

The aircraft was damaged beyond repair in a ground fire at Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, in June 1969 and broken up for spares in 1974. (Source: aviation-safety.net)
