Re: Some enlarged and 'tweaked' photos of He 162s

115. In the right-hand line-up, next to the dark-nosed "White 6", almost hidden, is the twentieth He 162. It looks almost identical to the nearest aircraft, "White 1". It has no dark camo on the nose nor under the canopy. This suggests the high demarcation of an A-2 from the early 120xxx werknummer series. Wollenweber, p. 138, identifies the twentieth aircraft as W.Nr. 120028, "White 3". On p. 18 of his book, Franks concurs. Other identifying features of the early 120xxx series are a black centred balkenkreuz with white bars, dark green tail fins with a hakenkreuz of simple white surround and a werknummer with white numerals below the hakenkreuz.

116. This good view of W.Nr. 120028, "White 3", shows the above mentioned features of the early 120xxx series. Note that the white "3" is thinly outlined in black and is in its proper position behind and below the canopy. The engine intake plug has also been given a dark coat of paint and a small white "3" can be seen.

117. With a good view of Leck's runway behind them, from left to right are Künnecke, Demuth and Zober with Gallowitsch and Ludewig standing in front of W.Nr. 120028, "White 3". Franks, p. 18 and p. 62, adds this brief note about its fate: "Presumrd scrapped as never shipped to the UK."
