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

310. This is a photo of Arado Ar 234 B-2 W.Nr. 140600 "F1+AA" of the geschwaderstab of KG 76 that was captured at Flensburg. If you look closely you can see the tip of the black "A" above the man's head. To my eye, the shading of the light coloured "A" is green which would also be the colour of the engine cowl bands. However, unlike KG 51's Me 262s, KG 76 did not apply tail tip colours to its Arados.

311. In all photos of W.Nr. 500079, the simple black hakenkreuz has been oversprayed but is still visible. This picture gives a good view of how the thin white strip underscores the solid coloured tail tip.

312. In this photo it can be seen that the colour of the "D" matches that of the tail tip in the previous picture. Also the open access hatch in the middle of the starboard balkenkreuz indicated that the FuG 16 Z apparatus was removed by the Germans before leaving Giebelstadt.
