and a few decal makers also have KG 76 Me262 models.

So, as yet, no wartime source for KG 76 actually having on strength, operating or losing an Me 262. All we have is what's recorded on the back of a photo that, unfortunately, does not show the unit code, only the "+DA" on the nosewheel door.

P.S. I do have some evidence of III./KG 76 using its Ar 234s for reconnaissance (as many Luftwaffe units would send a plane out e.g. to check weather conditions en route to a target).

Nick,

For the record, I attach a photo with the US Signal Corps caption typed below it via Richard Lutz.

Cheers,

David
