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

406. This photograph was probably one of the earliest taken of Me 262 A-1a "white 7" of III./EJG 2 as GIs captured Neubiberg in the mud and chilly rain of 1 May 1945.

407. That this aircraft is from III/EJG 2 can be deduced by the position of the "white 7" on the nose, and the thin yellow band behind the cockpit that in 1945 was used only by EJG 2 to signify an operational training unit.

408. This Me 262, like others used by III./EJG 2, has a kaulquappe (tadpole) camouflage on its vertical tail and rudder signifying that this component was an experimental wooden tail. On this forum, David E. Brown revealed that this example was unique in that the werknummer was located above the horizontal stabilizer and photos with better resolution reveal it to be 110376. If you look closely, you can almost make it out on this photo.
