Me.262 V9, W.Nr.130004: two questions...

[Alessandro Nati Fornetti]

Dear Richard and Roger,
Thank you for your replies.
About the cannons, I see the "hint" of an upper gun port in the pictures on page 768, but it isn't where it should be... It's a lighter spot higher, but slightly to the rear of the lower gun, while it should be perfectly lined.
The picture on page 770 clearly shows a closed upper port (you can see the oval panel), but I was wondering if this might have appened late in the aircraft's life.

The generator intakes... I had a closer look at the two centre pictures on page 768; you need some fantasy here, but I think I can make out the slight "bump" just where it should be. Wouldn't it be unsual if these intakes would appear on every Jumo-powered '262, EXCEPT the V9 as it was tested in HG1 configuration?

A pity we don't have better pics of the HG1 with the swept tail...

Cheers
