Controls of a bygone era - it took muscles to fly Auntie Ju and her successor. On the pedestal are the engine controls and fuel tank selector. The knobs on the right control the oil coolers and compressed air. The levers above the pedals are for rudder trim. Unfortunately, the glass on most indicators has become very weathered while no placards have yet been uncovered from protective painting.

Standing next to the mid-fuselage entry door, looking forward. The tube frames along the sides allowed for flexible fitting of equipment, including the folding seats seen here. A radio operator station would be positioned at the starboard bulkhead next to the cockpit entrance. Along the ceiling runs the parachute static line cable.

Transported by road to Essen by the WDL Oldtimer Freunde society in April 2021, after a similar foundation had to discontinue her restoration project. Built in 1945 and delivered to the Armee de l'Air where she served the CEV among other units. To the FA Portuguesa in November 1960, withdrawn from use as 6320 in 1967 and stored in Alverca. Flown to Germany by C-160 in 1975 and preserved at the LTG63 barracks, Hohn, as 1Z-IK until 2019. Then spent the next two years in Mönchengladbach, being largely restored before being passed on again. On display without any identification marks.
