Hi all,
The recent excitement around the FHCAM Me262 restoration got me thinking about the 1990s project to build five flying aircraft, and where they are now. Wikipedia has the airframes as follows:
Me-262B-1C W.Nr.501241 reg.N262AZ
Collings Foundation, Stow, Massachusetts, USA, in flying condition. First replica to fly, 20 December 2002.
Me-262A/B-1C W.Nr.501242
Evergreen Aviation Museum, McMinnville, Oregon, USA, on static museum display. In the markings of an aircraft of Jadgeswader 7 (11/JG-7) based at Brandenburg-Briest, flown by Leutnant Alfred Ambs.
Me-262B-1A W.Nr.501243 reg.N262MF
Military Aviation Museum, Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA, in airworthy condition.
Me-262A/B-1C W.Nr.501244 reg.D-IMTT
Messerschmitt Stiftung, Manching, Germany, in airworthy condition.
Me-262A-1C W.Nr.501245
This listing is bound to have issues as I did it based on my own Googling as well as Goodall's directory.
Is anyone able to shed some light on the fifth airframe? I've seen its W.Nr swapped with that of the McMinnville aircraft in a few places, and regardless have been unable to find anything about it.
