Well known aircraft. Even if photos are new, they bring nothing new to the history of the He 219.

I wouldn't say that at all. There was an HMS Reaper loading number I was completely unaware of. The arrival date shown on the photos tallies with other information I have researched. The camo pattern shows that the NASM machine's new paint job is spurious, and also show the aircraft exactly as they were after they were captured. The NASM machine had at lest three paint jobs: original German, captured US and repainted 'German' for air shows and open days in the 1940s.

but hey, everyone keeps saying these are all well known photos. If thats the case, can someone let me know where I can find them on the net, for free please?
