Hi Junkers,

>the only problem today is that most Ju 52 `s that fly with Pratt and Whithney engines have threebladed propellers..instead of two.. but the only reason ( as what i have been told by the lufthansacrew ) is that the twobladed ones make to much noise ( way more than the T-6 ) so that is why they go with the threebladed like the C-47

Absolutely right. When D-AQUI was new to Germany, it had the two-bladed propellers, and the sound was amazingly powerful even if it was far away and flying high (and due to the low speed of the JU 52, it seemed to be static in the air . By comparison, the three-bladed propellers hardly make any sound at all. I thought the noisy variant sounded better!

The Swiss Ju-Air Ju 52s still have two-bladed propellers as far as I know, and the AZ+JU (French, I believe) does too.

nice pics and you are quite correct about those aircrafts using the twobladed props today !! whish they all would..even if it makes noise..hehe

here is two pictures taken today from the inside of the Ju 52 on display at Gardermoen. this Ju 52 has all guns mounted and is the only one on display today with 4 machineguns.one in front..one in the back and one on each side. this Ju 52 has been restored to look as it did when taking part in operation Weserubung ( invasion of Norway ) this is one of the 11 that was lost at lake hartvigwater in april 1940

Hi Junkers,

>here is two pictures taken today from the inside of the Ju 52 on display at Gardermoen.

Thanks a lot! There is the fuselage of a Ju 52 raised from a lake in Norway at the aviation museum in Hanover Laatzen, but as wing-less torso, it really doesn't compare to the great example you photographed!

Wow, that must have been great! :-)

Coincidentally, D-AQUI flew right over me just today ... despite its three-bladed propellers, I recognized the sound quickly enough to grab my camera and snap a couple of shots.

Here is D-AQUI showing off its corrugated lower surfaces as well as its modern registration, D-CDLH (C for 5.7 to 14 t maximum gross weight, DLH a "vanity registration" for Deutsche Lufthansa).

and one is speyer..not sure about the one in hanover..pics would be appriciatetd
