http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....&pictureid=884
87. Me 262 A-1a W.Nr. 112372 Red 2 of 10./NJG 11 is seen in German markings at Schleswig. Note the blue/red RVT bands of JG 7 and the painted-out tactical fighter numeral in front of the balkenkreuz. The Red 2 covers the JG 7 wappen. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....&pictureid=885 88. Robert Forsyth on p. 121 of Jagdgeschwader 7 'Nowotny', (Osprey, 2008), says that on 1 June 1945, Flt. Lt. Pierre Arend flew W.Nr. 112372 from Schleswig to Twente 'where it is believed to have received some repair work.' http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....&pictureid=886 89. On 23 June 1945, Farnborough jet test pilot S/Ldr. Brian Hugh Moloney probably flew Me 262 W.Nr. 112372 Red 2 from Twente via Gilze Rijen, Melsbroek and Manston to RAE Farnborough. It is seen here during its stop-over at Gilze Rijen, with the silhouette of Me 262 B-1a/U1 W.Nr. 111980 Red 12 (damaged on landing 19 June 1945) in the hangar awaiting repairs. |
