Very sad news from Switzerland that Ju52 HB-HOT crashed in the Swiss Alps on a sight seeing flight yesterday afternoon with the probable loss of all 20 on board on her way back to Dubendorf. Photos of the wreck suggest a near vertical rather than horizontal final impact in an area of almost level ground.
She was the former Swiss Air Force A-702 which I first photographed at her home base of Dubendorf way back in 1975. At that time she was still wearing the paint scheme applied for her appearance as a German aircraft in the film Where Eagles Dare (Clint Eastwood, Richard Burton et al).
