Airborne A7?

The above picture is copied from a book on Junkers aircraft, and passed to me by a club member. I intend to include it in the next club mag, but would like confirmation that it actually is a 2-seater boat-tail before I embarrass myself in print! The aircraft is a Junkers G31 converted for freight with a roof loading hatch. Three were built and this one was supplied to New Guinea Airways in 1931

Yes, Rick, it is; it looks like it's a 1929/30 model with the long scuttle.

Thanks Mike. Further searching on-lline has produced more pics of the car being loaded and unloaded, with "Austin 7" mentioned in the captions.

We have discussed this picture before on the forum or is my memory playing tricks ?

Yes Tony, I've a feeling we discussed this on the old forum. I believe I posted a couple of photos including this one that I'd also found online.

I did search "Junkers", "aircraft" and "G31 before submitting my post. Unfortunately my septugenarian memory does not extend as far back as it used to!

As previous I think it is the fledgling nazi party capturing advanced British technology for study.
With lots of native boys available, I trust they did not have to fire up the steam crane just to lift the Austin. |
