Trying to recall the Connies I saw in my spotting days in the mid 60s. They were almost as rare as hen’s teeth then, but you still got lucky sometimes.

An Iberia Super at Gatwick
Quite a few Flying Tigers there also
And at least one Ace Freighters
A couple of seasons regular fortnightly Palma charters from Newcastle, either Skyways or Euravia
Complete and half-wrecked examples in the boneyard at Coventry (Ace again?)
I’ve a notion I saw a Lufthansa example at Heathrow but I’m fuzzy about that.

quite the most beautiful airliner
I'll second that
