The Ju 52 was the last in a long line of Junkers corrugated-metal-skinned cantilever monoplanes.

Much the best way to go sightseeing: over Central London at 1,200ft.

A mixture of ancient and modern on the flight deck: wooden control wheels and Airbus-style avionics.

D-AQUI’s cabin looks like a bus, but is a lot more comfortable. Incidentally, contrary to last month's Grapevine, this was not the Ju 52's first visit to the UK: as Iron Annie it staged through Prestwick and Speke after its 1984 transatlantic flight.
