Along with the MP44 and the Tiger tank, Me-262 is obviously a 'hero' to the Forums !

This month's 'FlyPast' magazine carries an article about the aircraft which includes a location listing of survivors. Thought some of you may be interested to know ; -

Me262B-1A/U1 / 110305 : S.African National War Museum, Saxonwald, Jo'burg.

Me 262B-1A / 110639 : Naval Air Station, Willow Grove, PA, USA ( stored ? )

Rote 8 the B-1a/U-1 in south Africa, never flew on ops, it will be ocvered in our books.

Chino air museum..planes of fame is a recon version that they have rebuilt to look like the fighter veresion. Has been talk of modifying the enignes to get the a/c flying agin and possibly moving it to Texas.

Large contingent of a/c frames and many parts in Seattle with the hope of releasing flying examples-at least 3- in the near future, also talk of moving the factory/work areas to Texas.

I've seen the one at Wright-Patterson, and the one at the Air and Space Museum. Spent over an hour just looking at them both (and drooling as well!
However it was also kind of sad
