Re: Some enlarged and 'tweaked' known photos of Me 262s

http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....&pictureid=814

27. A line-up of Me 262s of III./EJG 2 at Lechfeld, probably late December 1944 or very early January 1945. Note the pattern of the kaulquappe (tadpole) camouflage of experimental wooden tail fins. The nearest aircraft being towed is a Me 262 a-2a (one white gun rectangle) White 1, possibly W.Nr. 170047.

28. On the evening of 29 April 1945, at about 1800 hrs., Ofw. Rothert of 2./Fl.U.G. 1 transferred the same Me 262 A-2a (one white gun rectangle) White 1 from München-Brunnthal to Innsbruck-Reichenau where this photo was taken.

29. A view of the starboard side of White 1 showing a fresh late-war camouflage has been newly applied. It seems to have consisted of an overspray of the fuselage, followed by a squiggle pattern of dark colour and a new yellow band, then another light overspray of an opaque anti-dazzle paint.

30. A view of the port side of White 1. Note that the "white S", signifying that it is not suitable for combat, has been moved back to below the horizontal stabilizer while it is missing from the starboard side.

31. Another kaulquappe-tailed Me 262 A-1a of III./EJG 2 White 4, possibly W.Nr. 170306.
