Me 262 salvage team
 

Hi there folks,

I just chanced on this intriguing photo depicting a Luftwaffe salvage Kommando taking care of an Me 262 "Schwarze D". The legend says:

"Our salvage team with "the Lituanians"

Any other information available regarding this plane, time of the event and location?

Thanks
Marc

With the help of Maciej/caughtinthemiddle over on the LEMB here, according to "Luftwaffe im Focus" Edition 18/2011, this was Me262A-2a WNr.110613 coded 9K+DK of 2./KG51 being recovered in February 1945 after being force landed by her pilot Ofw.Wieczorek...

My pleasure Marc... :)

As for your IP issues, I've just checked and it isn't currently in the block listing. Rather than bore the regulars here, drop me a PM if it's still an issue.
