The NMUSAF is advertising its Ju 52/3M (actually a CASA 352L) for trade.
"The aircraft is without maintenance records and data plate is missing".

The plane has been on outdoor display since 1971, a gift of the Spanish government.

Wonder if it would be restorable to airworthy?

No data plate, no fly.
