Swiss Vintage Aircraft

[SpringHeeledJack]

About a week ago in Swiss airspace within the space of a day I saw 2 JU-52 flying together, 2 Hunters flying together and a Venom/Vampire alone. Plus the Breitling Connie on the ground! Could any of the vintage buffs tell me who they belong to, where they might be based and if my eyes were playing tricks on me ? Thanks for any replies.

Four Junkers Ju-52 are operated by Ju-Air based at the Dubendorf Air Museum outside Zurich.

Plurry heck!!! FOUR of them? The mind boggles.

The Constellation is usually parked at Basle-Mulhouse (LFSB) airport. A Venom and the Hunter are often at Altenrhein (LSZR), their webpage is here.

Hunters are flown by this organisation: F-Accueil Amici
There is also a page here: Fly Hawker Hunter in Switzerland: Alpine Hawker Hunter Flight This might be just an English language page that leads to the same organisation, I can't tell if it's the same aircraft being used.

You can find Ju-Air on this website: http://www.ju-air.ch/

In addition, AMPA at Lausanne keep an interesting set of treasures in the air. I had the pleasure of flying the Chipmunk for a while.

Thank you all for the informative replies. They were all spotted in and around the Eiger/Monch/Jungfrau Mountains and the weather was very good for visual tours on this day, perhaps explaining the number of sightings. The Connie was sitting at Basel-Mulhouse looking laid-back and majestic.
