Out of interest, how many genuine German built Ju52s are there?
About 23.

The preserved Axis aircraft website is probably the best port of call!

They’re not operated by Swissair (which ceased to exist several years ago) but three out of the four Ju-Air ones are original German-built examples delivered to the Swiss AF before the Second World War.

I see no reason to recover it. There are plenty about, and even our national museums don’t want one!

With all the crew missing does that make its a war grave? Doesn’t seem quite right to me for artifacts to be recovered.

Didn’t they used to have a similar, licence built machine in the museum at Duxford…

Looks fantastic. Structural integrity of course an unknown factor but the artefacts here seem to be more interesting than the airframe

Now to retrieve it. They already found the pilot’s boots 😀
