For Livery I chose for KLM - PH-BUF as it appeared in Tenerife in 1973.  You can see photos of this airliner at www.airliners.net 

On March 27th 1977 this aircraft collided with a Pan Am Boeing 747 in fog on the runway at Tenerife. 583 people lost their lives in what is still the world's worst aviation disaster. Both aircraft had been diverted from nearby Las Palmas due to a bomb threat there and this aircraft initated a take-off without permission as N736PA was crossing the runway.
