Me.262 found at Deelen

Post by patrick dirksen »

Hi all,

Maybe it's me, but I can't remember seeing this news before. Last october substantial remains of an Me.262 fighter were found more or less by accident at Deelen airbase. This turned out to be Werk Nr. 130026, a prototype which was accidently shot down by the German Abwehr. It is now with the Museum Vliegbasis Deelen. Credit and more info:

Don't know about you, but I am definately going to check this one out! :wink:
Cheers,
