Hello Leo,

Thank you for this explanation and especially the source.

Further to the "dorsal fin", according to an unsourced caption on page 37 of Brett Green's Modelling Luftwaffe Jets and Wonder Weapons (2012):

"...V-056 was a flying test-bed for elements of the proposed two-seater Me 262 B-2a [sic] night fighter. The fin fitted to the fuselage spine behind the cockpit was intended to assess the aerodynamic impact of the longer canopy of the two-seater."

Thank you again.

Jim
