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

146. This screenshot was taken while the cameraman was standing just north of White 4, facing southeast. No. 20 can be seen facing northeast. No. 15 may be a third unpainted Me 262 at Hotting. Unfortunately I have not seen any close-up views of it. No. 16 faces northeast.

147. No. 16 is Me 262 A-1a, possibly W.Nr. 500228, 9K+CN of 5./KG 51 (listed as being turned over to JV 44 from KG 51 at Landau). It is parked in front of an unseen small concrete apron in the southwest corner of Hotting airfield, facing northeast. Note the concrete base of the hydro pylon at the extreme left, as well as the nose and tail tip colours, an imperceptible red line indicating II.Gruppe contiguous with the red tip indicating 5. Staffel. To my eye, there is a red hand-painted "C" on the nose-wheel door.

148. In this screenshot, what seems to me to be a large red "C" can be seen behind the balkenkreuz. It also has hand-painted dark camouflage added to the sides of the engine nacelles and lacks both bomb racks and white gun rectangles.
