Re: Me262 photo white "2"?
Good evening,
It is WNr. 170071 of III/EJG 2 that was found on the east side of the A6 autobahn running through the Hofoldinger forest. Note the gravel path parallel to the highway. best regards, Jim |

Interesting photo. It looks to me like the entire nose section might have been a replacement, as the front part appears darker than the rest of the airframe.

Good morning,
That darkness is not seen on the starboard side of the nose so I suspect what we see is the result of the blast effect of the grenade and a resulting fire in the engine nacelle. Jim |

This particular jet is depicted in "Smith/Creek: Me 262 Vol. 2" on p. 261 as part of EKdo 262 aka 10./EJG 2. No traces of an exchange of the nose.
