# 711 captured by US forces along the autobahn in May 1945. (Press release photo from a modelers collection from Ohio via ebay, personal collection)

I though that was Hans Fey's defection plane

 

[GrauGeist]

That's WkNmr 111711 that was the first intact Me262 captured by the Allies.
It was captured on 31 March 1945, when Hans Fey defected by flying it to Rhein-Main.

There's several photos (including the one posted above) of it being tested in the U.S. postwar before it crashed.

I was misinformed about the capture by the individual I obtained the photo from, here is the info and the internet connection: Hans Fay Archives - This Day in Aviation
his debriefing : http://zenoswarbirdvideos.com/Images/Me262/ME262PILOTDEBRIEF.pdf
but this info muddies the story: 526th AIB

Out of curiosity, is that a letter "J" that I seen on the front nose wheel door?
