Hello Roger,

White '4' at Leck and White '4' at Kassel are the same He162 and the correct WNr is 120067. A replacement tail was put on White '4' at Kassel (no WNr). The wing from 120067 was eventually put onto White '7' WNr 120222. A fair amount of damage was done to the He162's at Leck at the end of hostilites. To get an aircraft in good shape a lot of parts were swapped around.
The British Army overran Leck.......a number He162's were transported to Kassel for the Americans.

John
