Re: Me262 found at Deelen
Dear All,
I just got off the phone with my friend Manfred Boehme. It does, indeed, seem likely that the "L" was the last letter of the unit code for this aircraft. According to Manfred, W.Nr. 130026 was assigned to Erprobungskommando Schenk on 5.7.44. The Kdo. initially used large letters, with W.Nr. 130026 being black "A". At the end of Aug. 1944, Kdo. Schenk was absorbed into KG 51 and the aircraft's code was changed to 9K+AL. It was assigned to 3./KG 51 and the unit was working up at Lechfeld. During the first week, the unit moved to its operational base at Rheine. On 12.9.44 W.Nr. 130026 was shot down by German flak. A few parts from it were found at Elden, which was 3.1 km southwest of Arnheim. Regards, Richard Last edited by Richard T. Eger; 6th November 2014 at 06:05.
