111. Here W.Nr. 111980 Red 12 is seen at the end of a line up of Me 262s at Schleswig after being given British markings. Note that the rudders of some of the Me 262s have been removed as was done to some Ar 234s at Grove.

113. On 19 June 1945, S/Ldr. Tony F. Martindale ferried Me 262 B-1a/U1 W.Nr 111980 Red 12 from Schleswig via Twente to Gilze Rijen. On touchdown at Gilze Rijen his brakes failed and his aircraft overran the runway hitting a ditch.

114. The damage seen here took months to repair. Finally, on 6 December 1945, Martindale flew it from Gilze Rijen via Melsbroek and Manston to RAE Farnborough.
