Re: Me 262s of KG 51 (more)
Hello Nick,
thanks for your excellent web-site.
I think I saw the crash of the Me 262 KG 51 in Schwaebisch-Hall at Febr 1945. That time I was with II NJG 6 at the ground in Hall, when I saw the jet on final approach, having a flame out and crashed short of runway. This happened in the beginning of jet-age when idling too much.
In the early 1960 we had in Lufthansa flame outs with B720 Pratt-Whitney engines when in idling position before take -off and heavy crosswind. Had to restart and taking off then with high RPM.
best regards Peter Spoden
