Aircraft name on lower nose. Aircraft militarized during WWII. Flown by minor Swedish companies until January 1954, then destroyed by Bromma fire brigade except cockpit which is preserved at Arlanda.

'The Prince of Wales at an English military airfield.' French press photo showing the second Ju 52 in Lufthansa service, delivered on 10 September 1932. Location is likely Croydon rather than a military airfield, and the alleged date, 12 October 1932, is problematic because Prince Edward left for Copenhagen on Imperial Airways on 21 September and returned from his trip by night boat from Holland on 15 October. While in Sweden, by the way, he and his brother George flew on another Ju 52, SE-ADR Södermanland, then already in service with AB Aerotransport.

'The Junkers plane which German mechanics fly behind the participants of the Challenge'. Katowice was one of the last stops in the 9537.4 km rally of this event, organised in Warsaw. Clearly the Challenge International de Tourisme was not just a friendly meeting of some private pilots. Ex D-2468, this was a goverment-operated Flugbereitschaft aircraft. Lufthansa aircraft name Joachim von Schröder is not worn. Photo from: Narodowe Archiwum Cyfrowe
