eBay: Me262 one new photo(?)

Hi Gents,

I think the machine is known - but not sure.

Regards, Franck.

I have not seen this photo before.

Hi Dan and Franck,

Take a close look at the aircraft's bomb rack where you will the last three digits of its werknummer. This is characteristic of Me 262 A-1a Jabos from the late 111xxx-werknummerserien produced at Schwäbisch-Hall / Hessenthal Waldwerk.

Though not the crispest of photos, I could make out "69?" and thinking about this further reminded me of a similar aircraft I saw before. Indeed, this machine is WNr. 111691 and a port-side view appears on page 136 of your book Dan.

Regarding its scheme, it appears to be mostly overall 82 with some patches of 81. The 76 was sprayed to create a reverse mottle over the lower half of the fuselage.

Cheers,

David

Hello Dan & David,

Thank you!.. Both of you.

Dan didn't say he didn't know the machine but yes the photo!

New for me, definitly. I haven't in my poor collection since I didn't get Dan's book!
Nothing to compare with.

.. I'll be glad to receive scan of what exists ...

Unit? Markings? Place?.. Thanks for any help.

Bets regards, Franck.

Thanks anyway.

It was published on page 37 of Robert Forsyth's "Me 262 Bomber and Reconnaissance Units" (Osprey, 2012). There is an interesting point though: what it that extra horizontal fairing (cable duct?) riveted on to the fuselage side?

[unikum]

and these you know?

Hi,

Nick: no idea; thanks.
Unikum: Yes too. There long time ago and forever it seems

Best regards, Franck.
