Can anyone provide a list of U.S. captured aircrafts (incl. W.Nr.) at Straubing airfield in 1945?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve
Are there any photos of the Me 262 found at Straubing? I am referencing another post regarding an Me 262 code TS+ML, which has been (?) determined to be a "D".

I came across a post by David E Brown mentioning Straubing and yours as well and I'm just wondering if the Me 262 referenced in the above thread is the same.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Vince,

Sadly, the only photos I have of the TS+M_ Me 262s upon which I can put my hands immediately are the ones posted on the net. I have several other photos of the Me 262 TS+MB found at Fl.Horst Straubing, but they are buried in storage.

Hi Steve
Thanks for the update, I appreciate the reply. The TS+M_ Me262 is the first example I had seen. I'll keep looking :-)
