Re: Me262s on 31st March 1945
Rgr that Erich.
Buchner favorit machine seems to have been W.Nr.110808. There is no known photos from the aircraft and in his "Flugbush" H.Buchner made no record from the color, indeed in his book profil from 110808 show a "black" 11 with imho wrong III./EJG2 yellow fuselage band instead of usual blue/red one.
In Dan's book "Me 262 production log 41-45" 110808 is said to have been "yellow11" and to have been destroyed on 18th March after another pilot bail out.
So H.Buchner got a new airplane for 31st March mission. We could imagine this one with correct 9th Staffel "white 11" color as were all known Me 262 from 9./JG7 on the surrender days... (if i m right...)
