I concur: some of the shots were not known before; thanks for your caring.

This seller mirpis10, was named marwaj2 before: he is specialized in "lifting" photos from public collections or open sources and sells them on eBay.

1. First photo offered is actually from the IWM collection, inv. © IWM (BU 3432)
2. Second photo is from the same IWM collection, inv. © IWM (BU 3433)

Cheers

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thanks Marc , seller is noted.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Post 885

The first Go145 according to the 2nd photo should read as RP+NG. Does anybody have the three-digit W/Nr.?
Thanks

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

The two Gotha's were RP+NN WNr. 556 and TD+BA WNr.1258.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

#894 all are well known, and can be found on Fold3 as original.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Too bad the waldwerk photos are copies (see post # 894).

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Better late than never. Is the damage to the Me 262 seen in the first picture of Rudi's post #850 (page 85) due to demolition or a notlandung?

Jim

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

No idea but I think that the following photos are from the same a/c. Maybe someone can identify the a/c after seeing these.

This is the photo in post #850 Karoband was referring to:

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Some German aircraft were partly destroyed using a grenade in the cockpit. Larger aircraft, depending on situation, had an explosive charge placed in the midsection.

Ed

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thank you, Rudi and Ed.

From the above pictures, this seems to be a fully camouflaged Me 262 with a detached tail laying in an open field right beside the autobahn.

I'm with Rudi hoping someone can identify it.

Jim

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Another picture of Me262.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

To me the damage looks definitely like it has been caused by an explosion.

Regards,
Rudi

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hi Gents,

It does exist 12 photos of this Me262 found near Augsburg and pictured in June 1945 (and/or 1946)
1/ The last auction given on post #850
2 to 3/ Given by Rudi on post #902
4/ The one given by Spektor.
5 to 9/ former auctions three or four years ago
and
10 to 12/ Published in Broken Eagle N°4 Me262 page 17.
....
But, there are two others I just discovered checking my files (expired auction)
...
Here there are.

Enjoy them.
Cheers, Franck.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Spektor and Franck,

Thank you for the additional photos. They are appreciated. I concur with Rudi. It does look like demolition.

Jim

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

The 2nd batch seems to be taken at Kuno I Waldwerk at Scheppacher Forst close to Burgau. Me 262A-1a WNr 111755 (green overall camouflage) can be seen.
