Re: Some enlarged and 'tweaked' known photos of Me 262s
Thank you, David. These are some of those photos and my conclusions:
http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1115 252. In this photo, both "9K+CH", in foreground, and "white 19", at right, can be seen when they were in front of the Whizzers' hangar. Note the dark overall camo on the tail of "white 19" and its very black hakenkreuz. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1116 253. In this photo, both Me 262s have been dragged behind the hangar and are the furthest to be seen. Even at a distance from the others in this photo the dark tail of "white 19" is apparent. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1117 254. Another view of the two Me 262s in isolation behind the hangar. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1118 255. In this and a similar photo, a GI can be seen in the cockpit of "9K+CH" behind the hangar. There are no other Me 262s behind him. Note the bright sunlight on the aircraft and road. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1119 256. This is the same photo as #247. I believe David is correct. To my eye it is the same GI sitting on the wing of "9K+CH" and the washed-out tail fin and hakenkreuz of "white 19" is due to the glare of the sun. The rudder alone shows the true colour of the plane's camouflage. Photographs can be deceiving. Therefore, thanks to David, I now realize that the camo pattern and white fin on W.Nr 110943, "B3+HL", likely have no relation to those of "white 19". |
