'Tante Ju' at Norwich !

I hope this is the correct place for this ? But this afternoon we, at Norwich, were pleased to welcome this amazing old aircraft ! Stopping overnight as part of a long crossing from Canada to Switzerland.
If my information is correct ? one member of the crew may be a bit of a 'celeb' !! more of that later .... a few of my photos for now ....

I spoke to OT northbound this morning. Norwich to Wick then onto Vagar in the Faroe islands. So sounds like it may be the opposite direction. Whose the "celeb" then?

I believe that's the JU-52 that's due to be heading to Oshkosh next month! :drool:

Nice pictures. Saw it as it flew over the sea to do a touch and go at Leuchars. Stated that they were 3 Swiss AF pilots

Oh dear ! humble pie to be eaten !! I got all of my information the wrong way around, this visit is on the west going flight to the US, it left NWI this morning at 10:00 heading for Wick and onwards ...

The crew, on the return journey, sometime in August, will be joined by Jeff Skiles who as you all know was the co-pilot in an Airbus that made a supurb landing onto the Hudson river some time ago !!

So Sorry for the misinformation :whistle:
