Thanks for input....I have been through my aircraft spotters book from WW2...going by the square passenger windows and it looks like it has a prop on the nose...so more of a transport/passenger carrier. Good shot at the main guess....bu twhat/ why would a complete German aircraft be doing at Croydon airport in 1942.

but what/ why would a complete German aircraft be doing at Croydon airport in 1942.
And why would its undercarriage have writing 'AIR..' in English rather than German? Unless it was a German aircraft bought before the war for pleasure flights or somesuch.
THAT LOOKS PRETTY MUCH THE PLANE TO ME.....Good find....I know it was Croydon airport,my grandmother lived about 2 miles from there and that's me (3 y.o.) and mother under the planeThe metal sides of the JU 52 and the Ford Tri-motor were corrugated, were they not?
A JU-52 in BEA colors (1946/7) can be seen here.
Perhaps it was the plane that the REAL Rudolph Hess flew to England?
