Those photos of captured ac in the States are not new so the seller must be laughing his way to the bank or on an expensive holiday! Prices paid are madness.

It's easy to think that but some people are unaware of this site or don't do their research. And though I find the following statement a bit annoying, it is true: "It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it." There is a large auction company in the US who puts up certain collectibles and the prices keep going up. It is now to the point where the average person has no chance of getting certain things, only the wealthy.

If you know where to find the He 219 ones again Chris please let me know. There was only one that I was previously aware of

Can't agree more
Not sure if I stopped hyperventilating or not.
Well known aircraft. Even if photos are new, they bring nothing new to the history of the He 219.

I wouldn't say that at all. There was an HMS Reaper loading number I was completely unaware of. The arrival date shown on the photos tallies with other information I have researched. The camo pattern shows that the NASM machine's new paint job is spurious, and also show the aircraft exactly as they were after they were captured. The NASM machine had at lest three paint jobs: original German, captured US and repainted 'German' for air shows and open days in the 1940s.

but hey, everyone keeps saying these are all well known photos. If thats the case, can someone let me know where I can find them on the net, for free please?

Rich-suggest you have a word with Robert F as I did. Whatever, these prices are ridiculous & now good luck getting free copies-these buyers no doubt will want to recoup their outlay and as a publisher yourself and me an author, such prices would be economic suicide to the likes of us
