Braunschweig - Junkers Ju 52/3m - a photo on Flickriver

Lufthansa's D-CDLH "Berlin-Tempelhof" just after take off at Braunschwig, Germany (EDVE).

Note that the D-AQUI "registration" is just decoration for historical reasons. As an aircraft between 5.7 and 14 tons MTOW she has to carry a D-C... registration, Lufthansa did choose the D-CDLH letters because DLH stands for Deutsche Luft Hansa.
The letters D-CDLH are below the horizontal stabiliser.

Built at Junkers in Dessau, the Lufthansa Ju 52/3m made her maiden flight in 1936. Initially in service with Deutsche Luft Hansa, she then spent almost 20 years alternating between Germany and Norway. 1955 saw her finally taken out of service in Norway. Too large for a museum in Oslo, she was sold to South America where she flew in Ecuador from 1957 to 1963. Abandoned and exposed to the elements at the edge of Quito Airport, she fell into oblivion until an American airplane enthusiast rescued her in 1969. Later on, spectators were able to admire "Aunt Ju", now known as "Iron Annie", at air shows across the United States before she was purchased by Lufthansa in 1984 and painstakingly restored for Lufthansa's 60th birthday.
