Re: Info about Me 262A-2a, W.Nr.110836
Hi again Roland...
Smith & Creek's "Me262, Volume 4" includes two colour profiles of WNr.110836. The first is coded black +L with a black nose, black fin tip and small black L on the nose-wheel undercarriage door. The second profile depicts it after transfer to Watson's Whizzers and shows it with a red nose, blue star'n'bar and 777 in small white lettering under the elevator... "Me262, The Production Log 1941-45" says that 9K+LK was flown by Hptm.Rudolf Abrahamczik of 2./KG51 from Saaz to Munchen-Riem and there is no mention of undercarriage retraction difficulties. Once surrendered "777" was used by Lt.William V Haynes and I would guess that it was he who transferred her to Cherbourg. According to "War Prizes", once in the US, Col Watson was to fly her on 29th Sept 1945 during a display for the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences at Freeman Field.
