Re: Me262 in French markings

Hello,
From the note made by Ph. Ricco in the thread on 113332 in the LEMB site.
"Hello,
That's right, thes 2 ECPA photos show the French Me262 "no 2", which is the first one flown by French pilot (pilot Paul Badre, 16th June 1945). But if the accident date is correct, the location is completely false. It crashes near Milly-la-Foret, about 30km South of Bretigny. This is about 200 km from Nevers!"

The accident date to which he refers is given in an earlier post by Peter Evans as the 6th September 1945 as recorded in "War Prizes".
Alex
