For two Ju 52 destroyed by bombing on 25 April, see here: https://www.ghostbombers.com/1940/Losses/loss_02.html
As signals aircraft they probably belonged to the Köthen Signals Research Establishment.

Jim: I suggest a look at Fledgling Eagles might help?

I have a photo of an aircraft burning on the ground at what is said to be Trondheim. Somebody on this forum gave details as I had it as a Ju 88C-1 which it was apparently not
