Data Plates Exposed #9: Ju W34
Hi TOCH fans,
Past discussions about aircraft repair works in general and, more recently, the ‘E’ (possibly meaning Ersatz [Replacement]) preceding a werk nummer on a Fw 44 data plate (marked for Flugzeugreparaturwerk G.m.b.H. Braunschweig) prompted the next submission in the series. Here we have a data plate that is without a doubt a replacement. In fact, it’s marked “ERSATZ - SCHILD!” The aircraft in this case is Ju W34hi, WNr. 4035. The year of construction is marked 1937. An Air Ministry inspection/acceptance stamp is entered on the corner. I believe this was the airplane's main identification plate. It appears to be shop made, likely to replace the production original. This example came via a collector in Canada; I know nothing about the plate’s or the plane’s history. As always, further information would be most welcome. Best regards, Steve Last edited by stephen f. polyak; 10th May 2006 at 05:31.
