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.
