Re: Photos of Me 262 at Moosberg

Hi Jim,

Thank you for keeping this thread alive. I appreciate our correspondence, and your interest and insights on these colourful birds.

I must say that the new frontal view of the aircraft was a God-send. The '3' was clear on the nose wheel door, and I was delighted to see the yellow and white painted nose that added even more confirmation this was a KG(J) 54 kite. As stated, in the earlier photos the '3' could be seen but not clearly, and the '10' was frustrating hard to discern. At first it looked like the '1' was a fuel stain.

Nevertheless, all the pieces have fallen into place. I guess two questions remain: who was its pilot, and where did the other machine end up? More fun...!

All the best,

David

PS: I forgot to mention I am wrapping up research on Steinhoff's last aircraft and it will be published through Andrew and Morton's website. Might be time to step back from Me 262s and look at other things piling up on the desk (and finish a tank kit for the local show in April!).
