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
