Thanks for the extra information, CF. I could not recall if she was leaving or arriving, but you seem to have confirmed she was headed out that day.
You are not the first to admire the white gloves! Quite a feature. Pure accident.
We are lucky enough here, near the approach to Geneva, to see the Breitling when it is postioning there.

Yes, I took it Northside on 16 July 1959.
Slightly better resolution here, scanned from a 35mm negative:

I agree about the Super G. When I started this thread 3 years ago, almost to the day, it was a PIA Super Constellation that partly inspired me. See my photo of AP-AFQ in post #2.

Like several others posting above, I find it difficult to understand why no human remains were found. They can last a very long time in quite harsh conditions, even in damp ground. I wonder if the diggers looked carefully and, in particular, was a pathologist or anatomist with some forensic experience present to help find and identify any remains?

Re the question about the El Al C-46s: I got out my Ian Allan Civil Aircraft Markings for 1952-55 and find:
1952: 4X-AQD and E
1953: 4X-ALC and E
1954: 4X-ALA, C, E, F
1955: 4X-ALA, B, E, F
Regrettably I did not log any of them, the nearest being Constellations 4X-AKB and C in 1952 and 1953.

Perhaps the Firefly tail recovered in Curacao would help:
