Junkers 352 in RAF

Ad: This forum contains affiliate links to products on Amazon and eBay. More information in Terms and rules

Air Ministry (or AM) numbers were allocated to Luftwaffe aircraft at their place of surrender in Germany or Denmark. On an airfield containing literally hundreds of German aircraft, this designation ensured that set aside aircraft were not destroyed. Allocations made at place of surrender (AM 1 to AM 123 inclusive)

A few Ju 352 were captured and used. I cant see marking to id this Ju however.

So it could be


AM 8 - Junkers Ju352A-0 - W.Nr.100010 - coded KT+VJ of unknown unit - also coded VP550, scrapped December 1946

AM 18 - Junkers Ju352A-1 - W.Nr.100015 - coded G6+WX of V./TG4 - scrapped December 1946

AM 109 - Junkers Ju352A - W.Nr.unknown - coded G6+RX of V./TG4 - scrapped December 1946

AM 110 - Junkers Ju352A - W.Nr.unknown - coded G6+SX of V./TG4 - scrapped
