Amazing footage of Me 262s at Innsbruck

[Roger Gaemperle]

Absolutely amazing footage of the Me 262s at Innsbruck. I have never seen this before. I hope it was not discussed here before.

That was amazing. Thanks for sharing this.

Agreed. I'd have liked closer views of the Ju 188 and Fw 190 though!

Awesome footage, Roger. Thank you so much for sharing!

A rather big gap between the poor pictures of EBay nd this film...

Indeed, thank you, Roger.

Is that a werknummer below the tailplane of "White 4"?

White 4 is known: W.Nr.170061

But, I can't determine W.Nr. on images

Hi Matolion,

I have my doubts about 170061 being this White 4.

First, the Me 262s of III./EJG 2 (170061 being White 11) had their numbers forward of the cockpit.

Second, every photo I have seen of III./EJG 2's White 4 has a "kaulquappe" tail. To my eye, the photograph of this White 4 at the top page 52 of Dan O'Connell's Production Log has the werknummer 170306 below the tailplane.

Finally, while 170061 is on the 26 April 1945 inventory of JV44, I have seen no documentation placing it at Innsbruck-Hotting.

From much staring at the your photos and the above one enlarged, I would hazard "110x57". Of course, I am willing to be corrected.

I also have some doubts as to it being 170061.
