PP-CBR  Junkers Ju 52/3M                                 (c/n  5053)

                              

                                  Another take off from a Lufthansa produced postcard.   PP-CBR was the last of a fairly large
                                  (vast, by pre WW II standards) fleet of some 16 Junkers Ju 52/3Ms.    Initial deliveries began
                                  in 1933 but -CBR didn't come on to the register until 1939.   It carried the name "Uirapuru"
                                  and features the fin and rudder slanted cheat line which was to become a trademark feature of
                                  all Servicos Aereos Cruzerio do Sul airliners.   PP-CBR went to the Fuerza Aerea Argentina
                                  as T-152.  It later carried the civil registrations LV-ZBG and LQ-ZBG and was finally written
                                  off in January of 1953 at El Chanar, Province of La Rioja, Argentine.
