Please identify aircraft over london

[SteveSomebody]

Does anybody know what the 3 engined prop aircraft I've seen fairly low over London last few days is? Seems to be doing some sort of sightseeing circuit.

It is Lufhansa's Junkers 52. It has had publicity on the radio and we even heard about it here in the colonies!

Hello Boys and Girls and fellow citizens of Wibble,

Junkers Ju-52 (http://www.airliners.net/open.file/252960/M/)

Thanks for posting the link to that picture Mr Wibble.

Interesting to see the A/C in question has two registrations: D-AQUI in large and D-COLH in small font. How does that work then in Germany? I would assume that COLH is the real reg and AQUI is the registration of some famous Ju-52 from the past. Anybody any clues?

Cheers

Hello Boys and Girls and fellow citizens of Wibble,

D-CDLH, the JU-52 is painted in its pre-war registration D-AQUI. This 66 years-old veteran is running days of sight-seeing flights over london and the surrounding areas. the name of the aircraft is Berlin-Tempelhof, it is owned and operated still by Lufthansa.
Apparently this is the Ju-52-3m that Martin Caidin brought up
from South America that he wrote the book about "The Saga of
Iron Annie" that later was bought by Lufthansa and restored
as "D-AQUI".
