Re: Me 262 should have been used as a bomber?

Guys, guys, guys... Robert, Spitfire XIX was an unarmed PR aircraft. She had better altitude performance than any jet up into 1950s. Up to appearance of MiG-15 they were flying untouched over the Soviet territories and Soviets had somewhat better jets than Germans.
Kutscha, you certainly mean PR.XI. How could a Spitfire flying at about 14 kms been intercepted by a Me 262 able to reach 11,5 km?
