Re: eBay - New Captured Photo of Me262 TS + ML (?)

could be! There is a something that could be a shadow...or possibly part of a "D"...

Hi Sidney

I did the same inversion of colors and enlarged it and thought it looked like a "D" as well but the watermark obscures that area and it's inconclusive.

Hi Vince,

Sorry, I missed your note. The watermark is the issue, I agree - hopefully Mike will be able to come up with a high-resolution photo, which will clear the issue.


Regards,
Sinisa

Re: eBay - New Captured Photo of Me262 TS + ML (?)

I'm still leaning towards an "L", the "B" and "D" have blunt rounded corners and the letter in the image has sharp edges hence my thought on "L". Also, I came across some photos of a Bf 109 G-6 showing TS+MB at Technische Schule Motor, Munchen - Schleissheim, July 1945 posted on a flickr page by Marc-Andre Haldimann. Odd though it has multiple Bf 109's with the same codes TS+MB. I'm assuming TS stands for Technische Schule. The "M" for Motor? I'm still learning. :-)
Thoughts?

Vince...

Mike,

Thank you. To my eyes it does look like D.

To me it's look like a "B" - I definitely see a dent on the right hand side...

I am certain it is D...with all the shadows and highlights, I think it gives an "impression" of a B.
