I hear they don't even have the decency to prop them up on bricks, unlike the Scousers.

Good to see the post is still working - I had too many of them, having discovered that I’d already painted a bunch of Foundry canisters.
Working up a little scenario where pistol armed Jerries have to get to their canisters before the pike and shotgun armed locals do so.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

On a one way trip they could! Rudolf Hess flew his Bf110 there.Given the massed forced landings of Ju52's in Holland and Crete, where the aim seems to have been simply getting down, with the ability to take off again a distant second, such a high risk approach seems possible for the right target. FWIW Wiki gives them a range of 1000km.

Nice flowery things.

Those Ju52s, could they tow a glider which can land on a 45% hillside & then disgorge hundreds of Falsjager type people all armed with a multi-barralled MG42s in each hand with unlimited ammunition? 😐

Funnily, I've been looking at 1/48 Revell Ju 52 .... but so far balked at 40 quid for a piece of scenery.

There is a lot of evidence to suggest that they could
