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

230. This screenshot shows Me 262 A-1a W.Nr. 500071 white "3" of 9./JG 7 coming in to land when it was flight tested by the Swiss in late spring 1945. It bears the same camouflage and markings as when it arrived on 25 April 1945 at 08:46 hours at Zürich-Dubendorf. Note what appears to be digital distortion of the upper part of the balkenkreuz.

231. After training with III./EJG 2 at Lechfeld in early April 1945, Fahnrich Hans-Guido Mütke of 9./JG 7, taking off from Furstenfeldbruck [later captured on 29 April] to attack B-26s, got 'lost' and was forced to land at Dubensdorf due to fuel starvation. He purportedly had 80 litres of J2 left, with 35 litres burnt per minute.
This photo shows that the Swiss ground crew had read the warning "Achtung! Nicht am Bugard schleppen ('Do not tow by the nose wheel') written on the nose wheel door. They were basically following the proper towing procedure attaching towing cables to the main landing gear while steering the nose wheel.
