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

429. This is one of the photos posted by scalemodels.ru that were taken from a film made of ground crew towing an Me 262 A-2a out of a line up using an Sd.Kfz. 2 Kettenkrad.

430. This close-up view of the rear fuselage reveals that the aircraft being towed has a kennzeichen of "9K+BH white B" which means it belongs to 1./KG 51.

431. This view of the nose is consistent with an aircraft of 1. Staffel, KG 51. The nose cone actually has two colours in front of the black demarcation band. The white cone represents 1. Staffel, while the thin white band behind it represents I. Gruppe. Note the staffel colour surrounding the lower gun port.

432. Most authors ascribe the werknummer 170096 to "9K+BH". However, Jan Horn in Dad Flurschaden-Geschwader, (2010), states that W.Nr. 170096 was "9K+BL yellow B" citing Flugzeugstarke for 4 and 6 January 1945 on p. 222.

433. This screenshot from the film is the tail of "9K+BH". You can decide for yourself if the final digit of the werknummer is a "6".
