What about the at least other four 7205-7208 (the last one preserved)? I know of four AAC.1 sold or transferred to Yugoslavia from 1945 and on.
They were c/n 77, 78, 222 and 316
Since all of them are said to have been for JAT, I wonder if any (or all) ended up with JRV and fitted into the said slot of 7205-7208?
AAC.1 c/n 222 is of course reported as 7208 which is preserved in Belgrade, but is it?
Finally, did JRV operate only eight Ju 52/AAC.1 or were there more?
Cheers

Hi Stig,
there were four ex-Luftwaffe Ju 52's in JRV. The one mentioned above, another which landed by mistake in Nikšić, one which force-landed near Hercegovac village, and the fourth found at Cerklje with the code RP+AU. French machines were purchased after the war. Some of these were ceeded to JAT, but which ones i don't know. Total number is eight.
Cheers,
Boris
