Is this a known Me 262?
Hi there Gang,

I just found a new to me pic of a forlorn Me 262...serving as a prop for merry GI's somewhere in Germany, Summer 1945. From left to right, they are: T/5 Gustav E. Hoehne, T/4 Dean A. Plummer and Pfc Alfred
S. Stacey, Anti Tank Company 253d Infantry Regiment, 63 US Inf. Div.

Any details about this particular bird?

Cheers
Marc

Re: Is this a known Me 262?
You're welcome, Dan.

I wonder what those stencils A/6 seen on the fuselage and on the engine (A/6L) do stand for? I can guess the L of A/6L as being "links", left....

Cheers
Marc

I remember a profile in Classic´s 4-volume opus with such markings in red...

Hi Marc,
Me 262 Vol 3 p 585/586. Me 262A-1a "Red S" WNr 110556 used as trainer for JV 44.
"A/4" combinations instead of "A/6" combinations.
Servus

Roland

A (very) old - less than five years old - LEMB thread, or inside a thread ??? Don't sure 100%. But I'm sure about that "red A/4" ... Hence it could be.
