Does anyone have an online image of LOT L14 SP-LMK showing its rear passenger door to see if the LOT logo is upswept like the one on the centre plane in the picture I have shown? If SP-LMK was unique with this feature and the other 9 LoT L14s all had the arched door logos then we can be reasonably certain that these are the three escapees seen together at Kastrup ,Copenhagen just after their escape from occupied Poland! Unless of course this trio made another visit to Copenhagen?
Maybe, these links will be useful ?

The article about Lockheed arrival in Warsaw in June, 1938. The Lockheed, piloted by LOT’s director – major Makowski – flied from the USA to Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), then to Casablanca (Maroc), and then – to Warsaw (Poland). The image in link shows Lockheed and some people right after arrival in Rio de Janeiro. Major Makowski is third from left side on image:

By the way – the modeller, which has made model of Polish Lockheed (see link above), was mistaken: in last link about Lockheed arrival in Warsaw we can see the image of Lockheed, on which the “LOT” abbreviation (in title over windows) is written with quotation-marks. The model have this title too; but the abbreviation is written without quotation-marks.
