Re: Luftwaffe aircraft on HMS Reaper
For what it's worth, from Smith & Creek, Me 262 Volume Four, (2000), p. 853:
"Left: A series of 'Rhino' barges ferried the German aircraft captured by Watson's group from the port of Cherbourg to the waiting aircraft carrier HMS 'Reaper'. Prior to this they had been 'shrink wrapped' in plastic sheeting, not covered with the greasy petroleum-based small arms preservative known as Cosmoline, as has been widely stated previously..."
Is the name of this plastic sheeting known?
