Is this a known Me 262?
Hi there Gang,
I just found a new to me pic of a forlorn Me 262...serving as a prop for merry GI's somewhere in Germany, Summer 1945. From left to right, they are: T/5 Gustav E. Hoehne, T/4 Dean A. Plummer and Pfc Alfred S. Stacey, Anti Tank Company 253d Infantry Regiment, 63 US Inf. Div. Any details about this particular bird?

You're welcome, Dan.
I wonder what those stencils A/6 seen on the fuselage and on the engine (A/6L) do stand for? I can guess the L of A/6L as being "links", left.... Cheers Marc

Hi Marc,
Me 262 Vol 3 p 585/586. Me 262A-1a "Red S" WNr 110556 used as trainer for JV 44. "A/4" combinations instead of "A/6" combinations.  Servus Roland Last edited by RolandF; 10th December 2013 at 09:10.

Re: Is this a known Me 262?
No idea. Under normal circumstances I´d say this designates the appropriate position and assembly of removable parts of the Me 262 such as complete nose unit, complete tail unit and the complete jet engine units.
I.e. nose A/4 has to be joined to the fuselage A/4, tail unit A/6 to fuselage A/6 and left jet A/6L to left engine carrier A/6L. The explanation in CLASSIC 5 is not satisfactory imho. I suppose there were at least six Me 262 of an identical unit (mustn´t be JV 44) where those parts were removed and attached again. Maybe after repair? Servus Roland
