Re: Some enlarged and 'tweaked' known photos of Me 262s

73. Me 262 A-1a W.Nr. 111690 White 5 of 1./JG 7 was flown from Zatec (Saaz), Czechoslovakia to British-held Fassberg, Germany on 8 May 1945 by Oblt. Fritz Stehle, staffelkapitän of 2./JG 7. Note the small RAF roundel with the outer yellow ring and the lack of RAF fin flashes common to Fassberg Me 262s. It was given Air Ministry No. 80 and ferried by S/Ldr. Tony F. Martindale on 5 August 1945 from Fassberg via Twente to Melsbroek, the next day to Manston and on the 7th to RAE Farnborough.

74. Me 262 A-1a W.Nr. 110800 White 7 of 9./JG 7 was flown from Zatec (Saaz) to Fassberg on 8 May 1945 by Uffz. Günther Engler of 2./JG 7. It was given British markings and flown from Fassberg to Lübeck-Blankensee by W/C. Warren E. Schrader on 27 May 1945.

75. Me 262 A-1a W.Nr. 500210 Yellow 17 (note the Red 7 on the nosegear door) of 3./JFG 7 was flown from Zatec (Saaz) to Fassberg on 8 May 1945 by Ltn. Hans Dorn of 1.(?)/JG 7. Like White 5 above, it does not carry the JG 7 wappen but has its blue/red RVT bands on the rear fuselage. It was flown from Fassberg to Lübeck by F/Lt. Clive Gosling on 27 May 1945. Likely transferred from Lübeck to Schleswig in early June, it was ferried from Schleswig via Twente to Melsbroek on 9 June 1945 then to RAE Farnsborough via Manston the same day.
