Me 262 B-1a 110639 found at Schleswig

Gentlemen,

Dan O'Connell in Me 262 Production Log (2005), pp. 99 - 100, wrote:

"110639 Call sign GM+UK. Me 262 B-1a.
...It was found and captured at Schleswig and sent to Lechfeld during 'Operation Lusty', and named '639' and 'Vera' by the 54th Air Disarmament Squadron..."


David E. Brown also wrote online in September 2010 on the Warbird Information Exchange "Me 262 arrives":

"Messerschmitt Me 262 B-1a, WNr.110639 'White 35' of III./EJG. 2

... The jet was captured at Schleswig suggesting that it may have been a training aircraft for pilots of NJG 11 converting to the dual-seat Me 262 B-1a/U1 night fighter. After capture it was sent to the Americans at Lechfeld, being named '639' and 'Vera' by the 54th Air Disarmament Squadron..."

I have two questions:

1. On what date was 110639 flown from Schleswig to Lechfeld?

2. Who was the pilot?

Thank you in advance,

Jim Geens
