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

135. No. 6 is Me 262 A-1a W.Nr. 111751 (listed as being at München-Riem on 26 April 1945 handed over from "Memmigen Industrie"). In this photo it is being examined by American personnel in close proximity to White 12 beneath the hydro lines in the south-west corner of Hotting airfield. Note the landmark barn with the white-washed cinderblock base at the far right. Not visible are the damages sustained by these two aircraft although the tail of of 111751 appears to be on the ground. Ltn. Peter Stollwerck of NSG 9, already at Hotting on 29 April 1945, is quoted by Nick Beale, Ghost Bombers, (2001), p. 181, "We saw exciting days at Innsbruck: jet fighters landed in large numbers and made headstands, one after another". It is likely some of these were the ones dragged north to be parked along Kranebitter Allee.

136. W.Nr. 111751 was probably the Me 262 parked furthest east along the Allee. It was on a diagonal facing south-east away from the Allee and this picture shows its collapsed nosewheel and damage to the port wing. Also, in the background top right, the unpainted W.Nr. 113371 can just be seen beyond a column of GIs or POWs.
