Photo Comment
This Tante Ju was built in 1939 and TOC with the Swiss AF A-703. In October 1982 it was registered HB-HOP and then spent the next years operating pleasure flights for Ju-Air. After the tragic crash of sister-ship HB-HOT in 2018 the operating and maintenance licences were revoked for other Swiss-based Ju 52 aircraft. This effectively grounded HB-HOP (and another Ju-Air Ju-52 HB-HOS) and so the plane is now retired and on display at this superb museum. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
