Re: abyssinian

Ethiopia negotiated for a Junkers F 13 in 1929, but only one example of the W 33 was acquired: W 33c c/n 2539. It was named "Rigbe Tafari", later "Dessie", and served 1929-36. It was flown to Sudan on 3.5.36 and left there. The RAF handed it over to a scrap dealer who offered it to the SAAF, but they were not interested.
