Duna (Danube) at Lake Balaton. The construction number 3570 is unconfirmed. The number 4.02, on the tailfin, is a LüH serial. Three Juniors were based at the Siófok seaplane station, which was clearly in the town's port, and, being two-seaters, were probably in the military training rather than the sightseeing business. According to avia-info.hu, it was this airframe which crashed near here on 13 July 1934, killing the very pilot who is credited for this photo and, if we understand local rumours correctly, was conveying greetings to the pharmacist's wife.
