Re: Some enlarged and 'tweaked' known photos of Me 262s
forum.12oclockhigh.net/album.php?albumid=73&pictureid=908
106. Me 262 B-1a/U1 W.Nr. 110635 Red 10 seen in German markings at Schleswig, likely in May 1945. Note the wire cable. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....&pictureid=909 107. This photo, likely taken in late May 1945, shows Lt. Cdr. Eric "Winkel" Brown, RN, (fluent in German) sitting in W.Nr. 110635 getting instruction from Oblt. Kurt Welter with Ltn. Jorg Cypionka acting as interpreter. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....&pictureid=911 108. W.Nr. 110635 was intended for the Americans and "U.S.A.4." was added to the starboard side of the rear fuselage as were British roundels and fin flashes. In the background of this picture is W.Nr. 500443 "U.S.A.1.". Like "U.S.A.1.", W.Nr. 110635 was not taken by Watson's Whizzers. Note the early production tail light on the rudder. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....&pictureid=910 109. Another view of W.Nr. 110635 in British markings. One source says that a "F/Lt. T. Melhuish" flew this aircraft from Schleswig via Twente, Melsbroek and Manston to RAE Farnborough in late June 1945. So far I have been unable to identify this pilot. |
