# 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

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?
