81. Me 262 A-1a W.Nr. 500210 Yellow 17 is being fuelled for its flight to Lübeck. Note the hurried painting-over of German markings and the addition of roundels.

83. A not uncommon result of a nose gear that did not fully lower. Wing Commander Schrader's Me 262 White 7 is seen at Lübeck-Blankensee. Note the damage to the base of the tailfin indicates that a cable was used to drag the aircraft to the scrap area seen here.
