Ah yes ! Both these types were well gone from European skies by 1969, not just for these flights but for any operator, as they had been the last of their respective types in use there.

The Lufthansa Constellations in 1966 were living out their last days on domestic services like the one mentioned, Frankfurt to Cologne, an extraordinarily short run for an intercontinental aircraft. It's just over 100 miles.
