Re: Amazing footage of Me 262s at Innsbruck
Jim,

Close! I interpret this kite as WNr.113357, and ex-JV 44 aircraft that appears on the 26 April 1945 document listing Me 262s at München-Riem.

The digits of Werknummern for this 113xxx series are widely spaced and their positioning on this kite matches well with other known machines, especially the well photographed WNr.113345 at Schleissheim. Ditto the camouflage and markings.

With these 'Jabos' sometimes the last three digits of the Werknummer are hand-painted on the forward bomb pylons.

Best,

David
