This was the prototype Trislander, which had started life as the second Islander, then was converted to the prototype stretched Islander before the addition of the 3rd engine. Here dumped behind the B-N paint workshop about September 1971

The Ju-52 had a relaxed unhurried air about it. I flew Amsterdam-Zurich on a CV-990 Coronado for this Air Day. It later became HB-HOT but as such crashed on the 4th of August 2018 at Piz Segnas in the Graubünden area of the Alps with the loss of twenty lives.
