Re: Ju 52 Libyan Clipper

Well Stefaan

At least four captured Luftwaffe Ju 52/3m were used officially by SAAF with serials 26-27 and 29-30
RAF also officially used at least two Ju 52/3m HK919 and HK920 which I could find.
Unfortunately record keeping seems not to have been their primary job in the Desert (but they had probably better things to do anyway..., so it looks like we have lost the identities of these six aircraft. If Libyan Clipper was one of those, no idea, but if Libyan Clipper was a seventh Ju then the conclusion has to be (with tounge in cheek) did they have a routed traffic over to the Allied side??

Cheers
Stig
