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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Spektor and Franck,

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