The Reading Sky Observers, described as forerunner of Air-Britain, installed this Ju fuselage as a clubhouse at Woodley in 1947. It arrived there for scrap by Miles. Built by Amiot in March 1944, c/n 641038 was delivered to Lufthansa as D-AUAV Julius Nimis. On 23 April 1945 it escaped from Berlin - Tempelhof with passengers. On 3 May it made one of the last DLH flights, from Flensburg to Copenhagen and Malmö and back. Captured by British. Allocated serial AM104 but a reader writes that his father rode in 'D-AUAV' on a transport flight from Farnborough to RAF Perton and back on 9 August 1945. Its last flight was on 23 August to Farnborough for an exhibition of German aircraft.
