Thanks, Snautzer

This new photo of 170071 was taken in May 1946 after scavengers had cleaned up the site allowing a good look at the grenade damage to the engines and the blast effect on the fuselage.

170071: I never realized, until now, there was something painted on nose just before the "2".

Possibly an american tag: I see RS*(...) and it is painted over the scorched cannon bay area.

Hi Franck,

I think you are right. And if you enlarge the picture you will find that the starboard gun access door is flipped up and also has white writing on it.

OOOOh Yes!
Thank you Jim.
No need to enlarge the pic to see it; just open the eyes :)

Franck.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

This last one is a challenge for me. What type could it be?
