Junkers W 34 (D-IRUV) in Czechoslovakia 1938
 

Hi aviation friends.
I´m looking for any information and photos about German Junkers W 34 with registration D-IRUV from Aviation school from Breslau. This plane landed in February 16 1938 on territory of Czechoslovak Republic near city Hlucin in the north Moravia (German name Hultschin). This city was at those times on Sudetenland territory.
Thanks for any information.
Sincerely your, Marcel Kares from Czech Republic

Remi is correct. The W.34 was too heavy to be registered in the D-Ixxx range and should normally fall under the D-Oxxx range. However there is only one problem with changing the registration you want to D-ORUV and that is that this is stated to have been A BFW M.18b .....:)
Germany did occasionally use the same registration twice, so nothing is impossible. Do you look at a photo or do you have something else we can use??

Cheers
Stig

I can contribute with the following close to ORUV registrations:
W 34 hau W.Nr. 622 D-ORUS
W 34 he W.Nr. 70 D-ORUT
W 34 hi W.Nr. 2866 D-ORUX

Re: Junkers W 34 (D-IRUV) in Czechoslovakia 1938
 

D - ORUV ... M 18b, W.Nr.367
D - IRUV ... Ar 66C, W.Nr.438

Maybe another sign?

I have small problem with Mr. ´Seaplanes´ W 34 he (i.e. with Junkers L5G motor ?) - whould that not be a W 33 he W.Nr. 0070 D-ORUT ?

Hi Ed,
Shame on me, of course it should be a W 33he. Sorry for the typo.

Hi friends.
Thanks fo your all answers. The code of registration D-IRUV was mentioned in contemporary documents and files of Czechoslovak state police in city Moravska Ostrava in North Moravia. It is interesting that member of Czechoslovak army Lt. Lakomy stated that this plane had registration D-URUM or D-ORUM - his writing is quite scribble.
Regards, Marcel.

D-ORUM was a W 34 and this progressed to WL-ORUM with Schule/FAR 32 Oldenburg in 7/39. So if this was the a/c in the foced landing it was repaired and rertuned to Germany
