Hey Kaki,
I haven't seen this photo before. Cool! This is "Yellow 3" of III. / kg(j)54. If you do a googe search, you should find more info. |

Hello Kaki,
super photo. The location is Munich Riem airport where this Me262 crash landed (at the end of war?). Later also seen on the scrap heap. Karl |

Re: Me262 with Karo BAnd
It's interesting that you can clearly see the the black "T" positioned next to, and slightly overlapped by, the yellow tactical number "3." I couldn't find the "T" in any of the other photos of this Me 262, even though I had known about it from an article by David Drown and David Wadman. Here's the link: http://www.network54.com/Search/view...ard&page=20034

Re: Me262 with Karo BAnd
Kaki,
Thanks for posting the image! I've had a long (30+ years) relationship with this kite. A close look at the '3' reveals the letter 'A' within it, thus confirming it was originally coded "B3+AT" of 9./KG 54, later becoming "ge.3+I" of the same unit in mid-March 1945 when the KG(J) units changed to the fighter-type identity markings. Based on its camouflage and markings this was a long-lived machine from the late 170xxx or early 1105xx series. The Verbandkennzeichen does not appear in Radtke's compilation so a Werkummer match cannot be made but I have a few candidates. Cheers, David
