Unknown (to me) letters on a Ju 52

[cbe2009]

Hello!
I have a beautiful photo of a Ju 52 taken through its window.

On the starboard wing it says....MHX

I cannot find these letters in any of my books about this aeroplane and hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance

Hi Christian,

I only have a record of Ju52 with the German civil code D-AHMX {should be D-AMHX - typo, sorry} but absolutely nothing to add to this I'm afraid.

...I assume you meant D-AMHX Graham? We have that listed as a Ju52/3m on the LEMB Sktz Database. However, like you, we have very little else...

Thank Yoy Peter and Graham!
Could it be, that this A/C came from another country then?

Best wishes

Hi Christian,

the code implies that it was registered in Germany and therefore could belong to:-

Lufthansa (or one of its related airlines such as the German-Russian Deruluft)

or was in paramilitary use (i.e. the clandestine Luftwaffe)

or another government/research department

or was in actual Luftwaffe service (on loan, impressed).

Thank you again!
I have tried to put a scan in of the picture, but i am not very good at this, hope it works.
It looks like a civilian version, i think.
Best wishes
