Re: Heinkel He 162 upper wingcolour Mystery
Hi folks!
Just short, as I'm little busy at the moment!
Olivier! Thank you for the updated list! I'm currently also working on an update of the list, as I have got some new information from Manfred Griehl. I'm also doing a list with camouflage and markings notes!
Just one think I can tell now: Have a detailed look at the fin of White 5! It's the one and only He 162 I have ever seen with two different coloured vertical fins. Left one is RLM 76 and right one RLM 82. As original Junkers fins were RLM 76 I think the right one was a replacement from another plane! 310078 could be possible as there were some other Bernburg planes with such high werknumbers.
Don't forget that 310018 made an emergency landing on April 1st near Nurnberg. So maybe 310018 never joined JG 1. Would be interesting what happend to the other 2 planes (310002 and 310006) and their pilots.
Philippe, are you really sure with the Balkenkreuze on the lower side of the wing? I have a picture showing white 3 (120028 ). There you can see the old style of the Balkenkreuz. As the other White 3 (W.Nr 1200XX) and other planes of the early series had these style of Balkenkreuz why should have 120015 other markings?
Cheers, Simon
