61. Note the position of the nose wheel of "AIR MINISTRY 24" in these photographs as well as the outer yellow ring on the RAF roundel.

62. This is a picture of "AIR MINISTRY 24", also taken at Schleswig. The racks under the nacelles are prominent as are the Me 262s. They are W.Nr. 500443 "yellow 5" and W.Nr. 110635 "red 10" of 10./NJG11.

63. In this photo there is a good view of the rack's attachment to the fairing with its hose tucked in. Butler on page 103 reports:
"Ferried Grove - Schleswig - Farnborough on 27th August 1945, by S/Ldr. J. C. S. Turner. While the aircraft was landing at Farnborough, its port main undercarriage collapsed due to mis alignment of the undercarriage locks and the aircraft was written off.
The tail section served as a static display ant Farnborough's German Aircraft Ehibition 29 October - 9 November, but on 15 November it was formally SOC [struck off charge]."
