Messerschmitt Me 262B 10./NJG10 (Red 12+) Richard Herbert Altner WNr 111980 Schleswig-Jagel 1945 00

Profile 00: Messerschmitt Me 262B-1a W.Nr. 111980 of 10./NJG10, 1945. The camouflage on the fuselage of 'Red 12' was applied in such a way that the occasional meander pattern of 75 was applied over the 76. The uppersurfaces of the engine nacelles, wings and tail plane were almost certainly 83, as shown, and all undersurfaces, including the sides of the engine nacelles, were permanent semi-gloss black. Note that the intake on the starboard nacelle was natural metal but had been roughly oversprayed with 83 on the uppermost surface.

Photo 01: Nearest the camera in this line-up Red 12 a two-seat Me-262s at Schleswig-Jagel in June 1945, are two Me 262B-1a/U1 night fighters of 10./NJG10. The aircraft second from the right is WNr. 110306 which carried the small tactical number 'Red 9' on its forward fuselage and had the last three digits of the Werknummer repeated in white on the nose.

Photo’s 01-02: Me 262B-1a 'Red 12', formerly of 10./NJG11, was also surrendered to the RAF at Schleswig Jagel and is shown still in its original markings being inspected by RAF officers. After being ferried to Gilze-Rijen, this machine overshot the runway and sustained minor damage. It was probably this incident which resulted in the starboard intake being damaged and replaced with the mismatched example shown in the photograph (LEFT).
