Me262 ID needed.

Hi Gents,

Aaaah, thank you Jim, Dan and David, seems more consistent.
...
BTW, let me remind you what David did write some times ago:
"Hi Dan,
Actually, there were TWO Me 262s at Innsbruck(1). I found the second deep in the background of a photo and it is certainly a JV 44 kite as the number '1' was in the standard position just ahead of the fuselage cross. "We.1", 170047 was from III./EJG 2 and must have been one of the many aircraft dumped on JV 44 at München in mid-April to get ahead of US forces closing in on Lechfeld. The presence on a second "we.1" helps explain the lack of references of its use with JV 44. Indeed, the first 12 or so Me 262s that JV got appear to have all come directly from the factories.
Cheers,
David Brown" (sic)
(1) Reichenau in the thread context.

Last - from unknown source (I guess a pdf on internet). Sorry - what is that machine and where?

Hi Franck,

I think the picture is from this source:

http://www.103didww2assn.org/photos.htm

Scroll down and click on Phase III.

The shape of the high-tension hydro poles and the dark knoll beside the spinner of the Fw 190 place the Me 262 on the far side of the meadow at Hotting across from "Poplar Alley".

The light wash of the camouflage that left the masking of the ribs exposed suggests this Me 262 was possibly from the 1133xx series.

best regards,

Jim

The second image is fairly clear and the elusive Me262 data plate does not seem to exist on the fuselage. Possibly already removed as a souvenir.

That's it,
Thank you Jim.
