266. This photo shows Me 262 A-2a W.Nr. 170041 "white 10", possibly of the detachment of Erprobungskommando 262 at Lärz in the summer of 1944. Note its early RLM 74/75/76 camouflage and distinctive white hakenkreuz. The zero in its "10" is clearly a different shape to the zero of W.Nr. 110926 "white 10" of III./EJG 2. At some point it was assigned to E-Stelle Lärz, (O'Connell, p. 46).

267. This poor screenshot of "white 10" shows its camouflaged forward engine cowls and a single early ETC-503 bomb rack on its port side. On it, the "041L" can just be made out.

268. Probably in late fall 1944, "white 10" underwent upgrades. Stronger landing gear struts allowed all four MK 108s to be installed and the ETC-503 was removed and a Wikingerschiff bomb rack was attached to the starboard side. A sharper view seen in O'Connell, page 210, reveals the Ar 234 as having the stammkenzeichen "NM+xx", which series had their first flights in the last weeks of November 1944.
