Hi Dan and Franck,

Take a close look at the aircraft's bomb rack where you will the last three digits of its werknummer. This is characteristic of Me 262 A-1a Jabos from the late 111xxx-werknummerserien produced at Schwäbisch-Hall / Hessenthal Waldwerk.

Though not the crispest of photos, I could make out "69?" and thinking about this further reminded me of a similar aircraft I saw before. Indeed, this machine is WNr. 111691 and a port-side view appears on page 136 of your book Dan.

Regarding its scheme, it appears to be mostly overall 82 with some patches of 81. The 76 was sprayed to create a reverse mottle over the lower half of the fuselage.

Cheers,

David
