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. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

A Ju 88 and Heinkel Ill, captured German aircraft, at RAF Northolt, G/C Ernest A. McNab's RCAF 1 Sqn Fighter Station. They were inspected by the King and Queen during their visit to the station. The He 111 was formerly 1H-EN of II/KG26 and is here still carrying the badge of KG26, just visible behind the propeller. It force-landed 09-Feb-1940 with minor damage on open moorland at North Berwick Law on the south side of the Firth of Forth after combat with a Spitfire of 602 Sqn. It was flown by the RAF until 10-Nov-1943 when it was destroyed at Polebrook. The pilot took avoiding action when he saw a Ju 88 landing from the opposite end of the same runway, but spun-in after stalling. Seven of the eleven personnel on board perished. DND photo.
