Re: Bär's Me 262 at Innsbruck-Hotting?

Hi Matolion,

Please look at the fourth picture in my first post. My problem is that I think I can see an overpainted "13" in front of the balkenkreuz on W.Nr. 111857. Whether white or silver on both cowls, this is consistent with some of the Me 262s in the classic photos of the III./EJG 2 line-up at Lechfeld. Conversely, I have never seen a photo of the JV 44 line-up at Riem with a Me 262 having such cowls. If 111857 is an ex-III./EJG 2 machine, and if I am correct about the "13", is it Bär's aircraft? And why would the "13" be overpainted? Am I just seeing things?

best regards,

Jim
