Re: EBERHARD WINKEL 4./KG51 - Me 262 pilot.

Here some information about November 2nd, 1944 from the side of 2nd TAF.

02-11-44 NA/PRO Air 29/2003. No.83 Group Control Centre, Erp.
In the air 3 Me 262’s were damaged by 274 Sqn.

02-11-44 NA/PRO Air 25-698. HQ No.83 Group, Eindhoven
Grave airfield, now happily evacuated, was bombed by a Me 262.

According to Shores & Thomas 2nd TAF Vol. 2, pag.335, these 3 Me 262 claims were made between 15.05 and 15.10 hrs in the Nijmegen area.
Did the Tempests of 274 sqn. intercept the planes which have bombed Grave airfield? Have to check.

Indeed there are only some claims of Me 262 pilots against Allied a/c.
05.12.44 Fw. Schmidt, 1./KG 51 B-17 £ 05 Ost/GP-35: 1.800 m. 13.08 Film C. 2027/II Anerk: Nr. -

But I am sure you have seen these in the list of Tony Wood.
