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

404 This photo shows a good view of the RVT bands of red/blue signifying that this Me 262 belonged to JG 7. I had previously been mistaken when identifying "yellow 3" as an aircraft of 11/JG 7 due to what appeared to be a white vertical bar in the middle of the RVT bands. However, the white band is far too long compared to other examples and, compared to the crisp demarcation of the white edges of the balkenkreuz, the edges of the 'bar' are too ragged. This was a caulking tape that was torn off in flight. This aircraft is from I. Gruppe.

405. In this photo, the Me 262 clearly shows the "3" to be yellow, not white, making this W.Nr. 501221 "yellow 3" of 3./JG 7 which on 21 April 1945 was based at Prag-Rusin. The derelict has been placed on even keel by placing the nose cone? under a wing.
