Re: Question about Me 262 9K+FH

Some A-2s had 4 cannon ports but only carried 2 cannon. I think they all had 4 ports but the upper ones were usually faired over.

IIRC production of the A-2 stopped in Nov 1945. After that it was known as the Me 262A-1a/Jabo, also refered to as the Me 262A-1a/BO in some publications, and did have 4 cannon and bombracks. W/N 111685 made its first flight March 1945. Rustsatz were proposed but seem not to have been used:
R5 - Standard weapon installation ( 4 x MK 108s)
R6 - Jabo (fighter-bomber) equipment
Hope this helps,

Walt
