Re: He 162 Instrument Panel Labels
I wish you had written this email about 2 weeks ago. Last weekend I had my head inside the cockpit of the HE-162 at Garber (NASM). While it is unrestored, it also looks untouched from 60 years ago. After the war when it was being placed in storage by Army personnel (thought to be at Freeman Field), it would not fit, so the outer 5 ft. of the each wing was sawed off. The wing panels are present and when restored will somehow be attached, but obviously not as originally built.
Some other notes: The HE-219 main wing is near completion and the second DB603 is apart being refurbished. The first DB603 has been restored and is on the floor at Udvar-Hazy along side the restored fuselage with tail. No movement on the TA-152, ME-410, JU-388, or AR-196.
