As with the jets please tell us about the oldest prop airliner seen. Give us the date seen, registration, owner and at which airport it was seen.

Here are just a few of the golden oldies I have seen.
May 1966 G-ALZZ Ambassador Autair GLA
EI-AMP Carvair Aer Lingus GLA
21st July 1966 N90778 DC-7C Saturn Airways PIK
28th July 1966 CF-NAL L-1049H Constalation Nord-Air PIK
1967 D-ABAG DC-4 Transportflug PIK
1968 EI-APC Bristol 170-32E Aer Turas GLA
G-APNO DC-6A Air Ferry GLA
I have a whole log full of DC-3s, 4s, 6s and 7s along with many Ambassadors in Dan-Air colours. Lots of Britannias, Viscounts, Vangaurds and Electras and before I was "spotting" I remember seeing lots of old piston props at both PIK and YYZ in the early 1960s.

Sad to say the oldest props i have seen in active service are those few DC-3's that are still in service.
