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

411. The caption on the back of this photograph reads: "Mike Shedlock Bad Aibling, Germany 10/28/45 ME-262 Jet Propelled".

412. For the Me 262 above, I can only find four long range photos of the collection yard at Bad Aibling. It can be seen here with what appears to be a "white 7" in the fighter unit position ahead of a simple black balkenkreuz on the rear fuselage. I also believe I can see an R4M rack under the wing.

413. Elsewhere on this forum, David E. Brown has identified this Me 262 as W.Nr. 111704. In the Me 262 Production Log, p. 135, Dan O'Connell gives: "111704 ... Captured by U.S. Troops at Bad Aibling or Neubiburg in May 1945. Coded 'white 7', it is believed to have been delivered to JV 44. The last three digits of the werknummer can be seen in a photo of the starboard side of the rudder." It should be noted that there was an already existing "white 7" of JV 44, W.Nr. 111744, captured at München-Riem.
