248. Despite the missing bomb racks, the faired-over upper gun ports and single white gun rectangle identify this Me 262 as an A-2. The extendable metal tripod with the ring on top is noteworthy as it usually served as a base for a block and tackle used for lifting heavy objects. This Me 262 was found by American troops abandoned on the south shore of Lake Starnberg near Seehaupt.

249. This photo shows severe damage at the base of the fin. Note that not only is the nosewheel missing but also the lower strut. Also the starboard Jumo 004 is missing its forward parts and engine cowl. Curiously the national markings seem to have been sprayed over but in this photo look to be a simple black
hakenkreuz and a simple black
balkenkreuz, perhaps from the 11095x series.
