Delivered to the French Air Force in 1948. To the Portuguese Air Force as 6316 in 1960. Donated to the Imperial War Museum in September 1973. Repainted into Luftwaffe colours. Later marked as IZ-NK. To the Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego. Krakow, Poland in 2012.

The main hangar at this museum has been completely refurbished and reorganised since my last visit six years ago. This 'Ju-52' Toucan has a new winter scheme and now hangs from the roof. Originally this plane was one of 22 Ju-52s that served with the Portuguese AF (ex 6316), some of which came from Germany and the others from France just after the war. They remained in service until the late-60s. This plane was presented to the IWM Duxford by the Portuguese Govt. in 1973 and came to the Krakow museum in May 2013.

A French built Junkers Ju52/3m, which flew with the Portuguese Air Force as 6316 up to 1968 and displayed at the museum in a German Luftwaffe colour scheme.

This was one of 22 Ju-52s that served with the Portuguese AF (ex 6316), some of which came from Germany as the others were built in France just after the war. They remained in service until the late-60s and this example was presented to the IWM by the Portuguese Govt. in 1973.
