Note in the far (left) background, a Douglas C-47 Skytrain US Army's war surplus recently bought par ČSA. They were gradually converted into civilian transport versions for 21 passengers at the Avia factories.

Junkers Ju 52/3m

Registration OK-TDI. False German markings applied over its ČSA (Československé státní aerolinie / Czechoslovak State Airlines) livery and "D" painted over its OK registration prefix.

Junkers Ju 52/3m (or Amiot AAC.1 Toucan ?)

Reg. OK-ZDN Junkers Ju 52/3m c/n 807110? (or Amiot AAC.1 Toucan c/n 138 ?). The sure thing is that at the end of a flight from Paris with an intermediate stop made at Strasbourg, this ČSA (Československé státní aerolinie / Czechoslovak State Airlines) airliner crash-landed by bad weather at the third attempt at Praha-Ruzyne killing 10 of the 15 people on board. This was the 5 March 1946.

Amiot AAC.1 Toucan

Registration OK-ZDO Amiot AAC.1 Toucan c/n 139 (?). Some sources consider it as a Junkers Ju 52/3m...
False German markings applied over its CSA livery and "D" painted over its OK registration prefix; flag on the rudder is too overpainted.
Two souces give it as flying for the last time on Sunday 18 July 1948 : one for a defection flight to Western countries by two mechanics; the second one with few details says it was crashed during a forced landing at the end of a flight from Poprad (IATA: TAT, ICAO: LZTT), Slovakia to Austria.

Aero C-103

Junkers Ju 88

No Geschwader Codes but maybe Stammkennzeichen ?

SA+JB.
TN+YX.

Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-4

Note the wings featuring the large rectangular fairings for the large 660 mm × 190 mm (26.0 in × 7.5 in) main wheels. The starboard small wheel well door (fitted to the outer ends of the wheel bay and covering the outer wheels when retracted) is seen in an upright position in the shadow of the wing except for its front part.
Behind, Lom is walking over a flipped over wing and so passing near a Junkers Ju 88 main landing gear. Another Ju 88 in the far background.

Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a

The characteristic triangular tail of a Messerschmitt Me 262 whose fuselage is crushed under an unidentified wreckage.
