" the JU52 was a better three engined aircraft than the York",
The only time I have flown a hot formation with a Tante Ju was in 1978 when an ex Spanish Air Force example was being flown from Spain to Biggin Hill. They were having a few problems; the port engine was back to idle and the nose engine was overheating. They were quite grateful to actually land at Biggin because there was a lot of money involved.
It now lives in Seff Efrica.
