Re: Me 262 should have been used as a bomber?
OOps.
Re PR: Was this interception of a pressurised or unpressurised Mk.XIX? Either way, a single or a small handful of interceptions did not prevent or sway in any form the operation of the Allied PR units, other than a warning to take extra care. Similarly a Hurricane once managed to shoot down a Dinah. Neither case should be taken as representative of a general capability.
On the other hand, I have no doubt that development of the Me 262, perhaps the version with a rocket booster under the tail, could have produced a more capable anti-PR Mk.XIX device. It just didn't happen in time (rather like the Meteor Mk.IV!)
