ad astra is on a distinguished road
Re: Two interesting pis from Linz Hörsching, May 1945

Me 262 A, Werknummer 500531, with an interesting chessboard camouflage scheme.

This aircraft also carries on the port side a hand painted black cross on the lower part of the rudder. According to Mark Proulx, it was added by allied forces as an identifer for further examination.

More photographs can be found in Wings of Black Cross No. 8 by Mark Proulx and in EagleFiles #5 Stormbird Colors by Brett Green and Benjamin Evans. The latter also features a color profile of this aircraft.

Thanks for the link
