Notice the rings from a 55gal drum probably used to prop it back up

Additional buildings may have been erected when an airfield was built (n.b. with an airstrip long enough for the Me 262!)

I am wondering where they had built that specific airstrip. The lowlands there are quite swampy and the higher grounds are sloping.

This Me 262 most likely is standing in front of building #627 of this plan:

The building with porch and chimneys is #621
Look here for reference:
