Re: Post war survivors

Hi Srecko...

The first picture is of Bf109E-3 (WNr.790) which is currently on display at the Deutsches Museum, Munich
. With regards your picture, according to here:

"In 1960 the plane came to Munich, painted in the colors of JG 26. For the exhibition, it was re-coloured with the delivery colors and got the code "AJ+YH"

The second is of Me262A-1a/U3 and is probably taken whilst on display at Ed Maloney's Air Museum at Ontario, California and then with the same museum at Chino... I say probably as after disposal by Hughes Aircraft it was used as an instructional airframe by the Glendale Aeronautical School before being acquired by Ed Maloney. This example is now part of Paul Allen's
Flying Heritage Collection, Seattle where whilst under restoration, its WNr.500453 was discovered...
