Re: Ju 52/3m (See) to France

Philippe Couderchon:

"Back home I quickly plunged back in my papers, and I found a text that I had written for REPLIC in 1998 about a beautiful model of 52 to 1/48 °.
Under occupation and the SECM-Colombes SNCASO-Surennes produced 537 Ju 52/3m between June 1942 and July 1944 in g10e and g14e versions and a total control of 1068 aircraft. Meanwhile at G & R released 4960 BMW 132 engines Z plant Kerllerman in Paris. Upon surrender, there were 82 finished cells 60% and 230 others finished at 30%.
Since December 1944, the AAC has produced 415 aircraft type and AAC converted 36 Ju 52/3m into French AAC.1.
For numbers manufacturers currently nothing aligns the German numbers of French numbers from 1000 to 1036, but when looking around there are some WNr., With 640174, 640175 and others from Leck April 46 versions g8e on floats which quickly were put on wheels. Others like WNr. 501315 and 641319.
For W.Nr. aircraft built under occupation, there are 5-digit numbers [read eight digit (052 10001) -ed] such as aircraft destroyed Villacoublay February 5, 1944 which WNr. 10394, 10396, 10397, 10398, 10399, 10400, 10402 and 10406. I see no WNr. 6 digits for the Ju 52, as for the Bf 108 Mureaux. "

Lucien Morareau:

"In early 1946, the Navy had wind (normal for sailors ...) the presence of some hydro Ju.52 the island of Sylt in the North Sea, then under British control. On February 10, the CC Rousselot, head of Reception and Conveying based in Les Mureaux went on site and negotiated the transfer of some equipment. the bad people have alleged that these negotiations were conducted on the basis of cases of Cognac, recently "liberated" by precisely the Navy and good minds we thought ... 18, Rousselot took off the first device and after a "ravito" stop for Felixstowe, arrived in Les Mureaux on 19. I do not know the number and dates of other escorts but I think it does not exceed the half dozen.
Les Mureaux, Ju were hauled their floats and replaced with conventional land train then after just one wipe and paint, paid in units.
No need to ask me the W / N of these devices, they are not mentioned in the flight logs. "

Philippe Couderchon:

"As there were 38 Ju 52/3m former Luftwaffe transformed into AAC.1 and as close as possible to the latest German version g14e we put aside the plane, say an aircraft wholesale Hermann (paid at GLAM, it must be the n / 1001 and it is easily recognizable with a round window near the left side door, a sheet covering the top of the central engine and especially a feature of many Ju 52 civilians, exhausts the core engine part embedded in the fuselage).
It remains 37 aircraft with 36 others from the lot transferred from English to French (9 of float planes coming from 1./TG 1 group based at the end of war on Sylt Island g6e type and g8e but I know that these 9, four were WNr. 640171, 640174, 640175 and 640177). The latter is probably recovered directly on French soil."
