181. On 10 June 1945, Watson's Whizzers flew nine refurbished Me 262s out of Lechfeld on their way to Cherbourg, France, for shipment to the USA. Left behind were at least fifteen other Me 262s, some cannibalized for parts, that were parked in front of an intact hangar used by the Americans. Their usefulness over, these Me 262s were then towed behind the hangar to be left derelict over the winter of 1945-1946 before being scrapped. This mediocre picture shows that among them was Me 262 A-1a W.Nr. 110956 white "17+S" of III./EJG 2. To its far left, the dark Me 262 is undoubtedly W.Nr. 113363 seen with the same wooden platform at a different angle on page 154 of Dan O'Connell's
Production Log.

182. On page 145 of Jurleit's
Strahljäger Me 262 Das Technikgeschichte, (1992), he identifies a "Tippel" as one of the "
Überführungspiloten ferrying Me 262s from REIHAHG/Kahla to Zerbst. In post #64 of
this thread, David E. Brown has Günther Tipple as transferring W.Nr. 110955 from Kahla to Zerbst on 13 March 1945. In thread #25583/post #4, Dan O'Connell writes, "In that
Flugbuch, by Guenther Tippel are three "new" W.Nr., 110951, 110955 and 110960 ...". Since W.Nr 110956 falls in that range of
werknummern, it too may be from REIMAHG/Kahla which may explain its distinctive markings.
