FRANK,
It is quite interesting to note that those flights of Helmut Lennartz were short trips of 10 minutes. I "suppose" he wouldn't dare to take off with 100% of fuel aboard the Me 262 from UETERSEN.
Anyway...a concrete proof that the Me 262 could operate from that airfield...most appreciated indeed! Let me ask if you do have the page of Lennartz Flugbuch when he shot down a RAF PR Mosquito and RAF reconaissance Spitfires?
Thank you for sharing this piece of material with us.

Adriano,
It's true but not complete
On 22/2 he made three flights
1/ Interception from Parchim; 1h04 Then we can suppose he was short fuel and landed in Ütersen.
2/ Navigation from Ütersen to Fulsbüttel 10' there you're right. refueled just enough to make the take off to reach Fulsbüttel.
3/ Navigation from Fulsbüttel where he completed fuel in order to reach Parchim; 20' of flight.

I prefer like that.

Cheers, Franck.
