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

125. This picture shows Me 262 No. 2 which is just east of W.Nr. 500490 at Hotting. This is Me 262 A-1a W.Nr. 111857 (listed as being with JV 44 at München-Riem on 26 April 1945). It is south of the barn with Ju 87 D-3 E8+GL and is on a diagonal to the Allee, facing east-south-east.

126. W.Nr. 111857 is uncoded. It is readily identified by the white werknummer on both sides of the tail fin and both engine cowls were painted white in the usage of III./EJG 2. For this photo the camera is facing south-west. Two prominent landmarks can be seen across the River Inn, "the white tower of the Emmaus Church in the village of Völs and the conical peak of the Blaisenberg", (Nick Beale, Ghost Bombers, (2001), p. 185).

127. Me 262 No. 3 was parked a few hundred meters to the east of the barn with the Ju 87. It is Me 262 A-1a W.Nr. 500524 (listed as being at the DLH facility at München-Riem on 26 April 1945). It is in the meadow facing away from the Allee on a diagonal to the east-south-east.

128. W.Nr. 500524 is recognizable by its 500xxx series' black hakenkreuz and the flattened nose and engine cowls.

129. This is a poor view of Hotting airfield's north side looking west from the meadow. Two Me 262s, White 12 and Red 1, can be seen facing north-north-west, parked perpendicular to the Allee. The flattened nose of W.Nr. 500524 can be seen above the rear fuselage of Red 1. Note the late production tail light bulb on the rudder of White 12.
