Heinkel He 162 upper wingcolour Mystery

[NC900A8]

Hi Olivier,

In first, about the photo taken in 1975 and showing the right fin of the 120015 during its first partial restoration, I just look my others high resolution photos, so I can confirm that the upper white swastika is not the original german one painted in 1945, but the one painted in 1960 by the Musée de l'Air!!
Effectivly, this white swastika is painted just on the SNCAC emblem (painted only in 1947), not under.
You can see the original one painted in black at lower position and under the grey color of the fin!
Sorry, but again in 2005, we re-discovered this, always at the same position!

For the question about the real 12223, a first photo taken at Leck just before the english soldiers arrived, show this plane with its two original fins in grey and with its complet tips.
After this plane have a "ground accident", the left tip was missing and the right fin was replaced by another green one. (perhaps one from 120015!!)
And, now, we have this "12223 original grey fin" on the 120015.

For the french n°3, the 120093, I have no confirmation as it was the real 120231 or not.........the big problem is that we have not photo of each He 162 at Leck in April/May 1945!
