Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
Gents,

Thanks all for the clarifications regarding the Fw 190 D.

The Me 262 on the right in post 831 is a close relative of the one on the left, it being WNr.110745 found at Giebelstadt. Though not posted here, it is seen in a well known NARA photo that is an oblique aerial view from its right side adjacent to a bomb crater. A comparison with the above and this image matches exactly with the bomb crater in front of the machine and position of the engines. A rather reduced version of the image is shown on page 623 of the Classic Me 262 Volume 3.

Cheers,

David
