could be: Several of the German aircraft captured by the allied forces in 1945 that were flown to England for trials made a stop over at Gilze-Rijen in the Netherlands. Seen here is a two seat night fighter version of the Me262 with FuG218 radar of IV/NJG11 captured at Schleswig (code red 8). It carries RAF markings and the serial '305' on the nose. It was later allocated an Air Ministry number, AM50. This Me 262 is now preserved in South Africa. Photo on file at Gilze-Rijen Air Base Heritage Room.

This appears to be a Me 262B-1a, White 35 possibly assigned to III./EGJ2. Is there anyway you can confirm that? I don't speak or understand German other than what Google tells me. What does Bayern mean?
I have been looking for photos of that plane and have only found one and it was taken after capture and has some of what I would consider graffiti on it.
If it is the plane I think it is, it has been restored and now lives at the National Naval Aviation Museum, NAS Pensacola, FL USA.
Any info you have and be willing to share would be most appreciated. I have a personal attachment to this plane.
