179. In this photo, mechanics are in the process of removing the port turbine from white-surround "34". It is missing in some photos. Note the damage at the base of the tail fin indicates that it had been dragged backwards along Autobahn A8 by a thin cable to this spot in the Brunnthal collection yard.

180. This photo shows that only the body of the fuselage and tail remained of the original aircraft. Undoubtedly at the workshops in Lechfeld, it not only got a new nose assembly, but a wing so new it was not painted nor given national markings. Note the leather-covered fuel tanks lying on the ground. On page 109 of Brown
etal., Messerschmitt Me 262 Production & Arado Ar 234 Final Operations, (Japo, 2012) is a view of the port side of "34" showing where scavengers have peeled away the side of thefuselage to remove its rear fuel tank. On the same page we are told that the engines found on "34" were from two different aircraft.
