The Lufthansa Junkers Ju 52/3m, D-ANOY, named "Rudolf von Thüna" on display at the visitor's center of Munich airport.
The Ju 52/3m is a trimotor transport aircraft manufactured from 1931 to 1952 - post WWII production was at Avions Amiot in France ("Amiot AAC 1 Toucan") and at Casa in Spain ("CASA 352" and "CASA 352L").
The airplane was initially designed as a single-engine aircraft, but finally produced as a trimotor hence the /3m suffix in the designation (3m = 3 Motoren = 3 engines).
Junkers Flugzeugwerk pioneered civil air transport like no other company - already in 1919 the Junkers F 13 was the world's first all-metal transport aircraft (the 1925 Ford Trimotor just copied the structural principles from the pioneer work of Hugo Junkers).

Die Boote mit ihren offenen Motoren, oft ohne Schutz, sehen schon spektakulär aus. Würden so aber in den meisten Fällen in Deutschland wohl keine Zulassungen bekommen. Da werden Riemen und Propeller oft ohne jeglichen Schutz betrieben.
The boats with their open engines, often without protection, look spectacular. In most cases thex wouldn't get any admissionn in Germany. Belts and propellers are often operated without any protection. They are used for fishing or transport of people and goods.

Again a little excursion.
This time just me and my bike. It goes beyond Benrath Castle to a spot on the Rhine, I still don't know.

"A propeller is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral, that, when rotated, ... transforms rotational power into linear thrust" (Wikipedia).
Ignore the Exif data. This image was taken with the 35mm Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens at F0.95.

The Boeing-Stearman Model 75 is a biplane used as a military trainer aircraft, of which at least 10,626 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Stearman Aircraft became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Wikipedia

This is Douglas C-49H CF-PWH (c/n 2198) "Spirit of the Skeena" Built in 1935
The Douglas DC-3 is a propeller-driven airliner that was manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company. It had a lasting effect on the airline industry from the 1930s through World War II. It was developed as a larger, improved, 14-bed sleeper version of the Douglas DC-2. It is a low-wing metal monoplane with conventional landing gear, powered by two radial piston engines of 1,000–1,200 hp (750–890 kW). Although the DC-3s originally built for civil service had the Wright R-1820 Cyclone, later civilian DC-3s used the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp engine.[ The DC-3 has a cruising speed of 207 mph (333 km/h), a capacity of 21 to 32 passengers or 6,000 lb (2,700 kg) of cargo, and a range of 1,500 mi (2,400 km); it can operate from short runways.
The DC-3 had many exceptional qualities compared to previous aircraft. It was fast, had a good range, was more reliable, and carried passengers in greater comfort. Before World War II, it pioneered many air travel routes. It was able to cross the continental United States from New York to Los Angeles in 18 hours, with only three stops. It is one of the first airliners that could profitably carry only passengers without relying on mail subsidies. In 1939, at the peak of its dominance in the airliner market, around 90% of airline flights on the planet were by a DC-3 or some variant.
Following the war, the airliner market was flooded with surplus transport aircraft, and the DC-3 was no longer competitive because it was smaller and slower than aircraft built during the war. It was made obsolete on main routes by more advanced types such as the Douglas DC-4 and Convair 240, but the design proved adaptable and was still useful on less commercially demanding routes.
Civilian DC-3 production ended in 1943 at 607 aircraft. Military versions, including the C-47 Skytrain (the Dakota in British RAF service), and Soviet- and Japanese-built versions, brought total production to over 16,000. Many continued to be used in a variety of niche roles; 2,000 DC-3s and military derivatives were estimated to be still flying in 2013;] by 2017 more than 300 were still flying. As of 2023, it was estimated about 150 were still flying.
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.

Looking straight up into the clouds of Cygnus-X. 6 hours SHO from Oria in Spain using TelescopeLive and the SPA-3 telescope. In the upper middle the Propeller nebula DWB111/119. Strange object that we know very little about. Distance about 4,600 light years taking a guess based on the distance to the Cygnus environment.

Here is a mystery object. No doubt someone out there will be able to tell us what it is. One thing I think we can be certain of, it is not a ship's propeller. It would be a large ship in any case, but the blades are all the wrong shape for that. Some kind of fan?
My best guess would be a wind turbine of some sort. Perhaps one that sits on top of a building. There was a government building in Hobart several years ago that had a small wind turbine array on its roof. But being in the Roaring 40s, these turbines failed, and nearly blew onto the street below. Perhaps this is one of those. I really don't know.
