Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hello David,

All is well, indeed. It is good to hear from you.

If you are referring to the Me 262 in post # 2686, as far as I know, this is the A-1a W.Nr. 500210 "Yellow 17" of 3./JG 7 that was flown by Ltn. Hans Dorn into Fassberg on 8 May 1945 and surrendered to the British. On 27 May 1945 it was flown by F/Lt. Clive Gosling of 616 RAF Squadron, along with W/C. E.E. Warren Schrader in W.Nr. 110800 "White 7" to Schleswig-Land. On 29 May they proceeded to Lübeck-Blankensee where Schrader 'pranged' the "White 7".

I suspect the writing on the nacelle is "616F".

best regards,

Jim
