115. This Me 262 A-1a was found by "curious members of the British 15/19th Kings Royal Hussars" (O'Connell, p. 224) alongside an autobahn. The position of the white-surround "3" ahead of the cockpit is in keeping with the usage of both 10./EJG 2 and 10./NJG 11. Note that in this photo the Jumo 004 engine is intact below the port wing. This aircraft is unique to me in showing an exception to a rule. 'Surround 3' obviously has four MK 108 cannons but has only one white gun rectangle below the access hatch.

116. This photo of 'surround 3' is from the album of one of four members of the Royal Artillery assigned to do a survey of the Hamburg area in 1945. Note the now missing port engine but intact port side of the fuselage. The early production tail light has been broken off the rudder.

117. This photo of 'surround 3' shows further damage to the port fuselage. The captions on the backs of similar photos of this aircraft place it on the "Autobahn Between Hamburg + Lübeck". If this is correct, then 'surround 3' is possibly an aircraft of 10./NJG 11 which used the Hamburg-Lübeck autobahn near Reinfeld as an airfield from 19 April to 4 May 1945.

118. This photo of Me 262 A-1a W.Nr. 170070 White 12 (ex E7+02 of E-Stelle Rechlin) [see O'Connell, p. 84) comes from the same album as the photo of'surround 3' in #116.

119. A very poor photo of W.Nr. 170070 shows similar damage to the port side as seen in #117.
