This could be one of the two airfields in Kassel (Rothwesten, Waldau).

There are no records of a He162, "8" in Kassel. There was however a "white 3, WNr.120028" and a "yellow 6, WNr.310017". Maybe it is one of the two. See http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...t=16871&page=3

The "4" is a different story:
"White 4, WNr.120067", originaly captured by the british in Leck, this plane was shipped to Kassel for planned for shipping and evaluation to and in the US. Howerver, only the wings made it to the US and were mounted on "white 7, WNr.120022" that later became FE-493. The fuselage of "white 4" seems to have been scrapped in Kassel.
"White 7, WNr.120022" (FE-493) and "Yellow 6, WNr.310017" (FE-?) were brought to the US.

This was done to ensure the were scrap and not sold en revived to airworthy by another un-wanted party.

British capture, AX-772 of RAE

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

I think it's more likely the location is Ibsley rather than Issley. Ibsley is a long disused aerodrome on the south coast of England.

AX772 made its first RAF flight at the RAE on 25th October 1940 and was flown extensively before being transferred to AFDU at Duxford on 13th October 1941. It was then transferred to No.1426 Flight on 5th March 1942 unit this unit was disbanded in January 1945. Taken on charge of No47 MU Sealand at Tangmere on 1st November 1945. Selected for transfer to AHB Sealand in spring 1946 and remained in storage unit is probable eventual transfer to No.34 MU at Sleap for scrapping between November 1947 and February 1948 (War Prizes by Phil Butler)

Hi,

I wonder if it wasn't one among the many JG53 machines received by JG300 ...

Cheers, Franck.
