  • Регистрационный номер: D-EZIM

    This time our new problem is to identify the photos below. They reached us from Mike Hooks who was having a look for suitable airfield photos at the time. The three below are only part of a much larger collection featuring an international gathering at Heston. One of the other prints with a nondescript background is labelled 'Lympne 29.8.36' so we could have a mixture of locations. Certainly Flight and Aeroplane recorded an international meet at Lympne at the time, with 36 foreign visitors. So, while you may like to identify these three German visitors, if anyone has details of their itinerary we should be most interested.
    The aircraft, whose registration was not visible, was in fact D-EZIM and is identified as a Klemm Kl 32 XIV. Jack recalls that the visit took place at the same time as the 1936 RAF Display at Hendon, so doubtless the Germans, and others, were visiting that event. They also toured other parts of Britain, for example at least four German aircraft can be seen in an aerial view of the opening of the new York airfield in 1936. Lympne was perhaps the most common entry/exit point for non-radio aircraft at the time but we would still welcome more information about the group's itinerary while in the UK.

    D-ESRY was a Heinkel He 72 B1 Kadett, a type used by Lufthansa training schools before and during the war.
    In our notes on D-ESRY on p.86/2 we should have said "Luftwaffe training schools" and not Lufthansa.

    D-ENGA was a Gerner G II Re with the front cockpit faired over, flown on this occasion by Herr Bischoff.
