...they're coming off a 3-day weekend, I'm thinking...They look a bit, umm, rough.
They're coming off unending service since built....they're coming off a 3-day weekend, I'm thinking...
These fuselages look like Henkel Volksjäger 162s.He-162 factory in Hinterbrul, Austria. Wonder what they are using it for today? The big concrete factory in Germany for building Me-262 is used for storing NATO electronic equipment.

Really ?These fuselages look like Henkel Volksjäger 162s.
Me 262 had a sliding canopy and a long nose. The pic aircraft have a pivot canopy and short nose.Really ?
Yes they do Zippy, but the picture states it is a He162 underground production line. So yes not Me262's. But I do the same thing all the time, but usually someone posts a comment about what I think I see before I get around to posting my reactions. No worries.Me 262 had a sliding canopy and a long nose. The pic aircraft have a pivot canopy and short nose.
The center top of the fuselage on the 162 was built to receive wings. In the pic, those are flat.
The one one the back row has landing gear attached to the fuselage. The 262 had wide gear that swung from the bottom of the wing.
That would make sense, as they are being built in the Heinkel factory.These fuselages look like Henkel Volksjäger 162s.
Great picture here's some more gen: Late-war fighter production - the He 162 underground factory at HinterbrühlHe-162 factory in Hinterbrul, Austria. Wonder what they are using it for today? The big concrete factory in Germany for building Me-262 is used for storing NATO electronic equipment.

Maybe so, but I still think they look like 162s…I completely agree: short nose, canopy rear hinge, smooth fuselage sides, landing gear - everything identifies a series of Heinkel He-162s. But that's precisely what the photo caption says !
Even if this caption ALSO mentions Me-262s... built in a concrete factory, while here we're clearly in a cave.
That would make sense, as they are being built in the Heinkel factory.
Yes, they are Heinkel He-162. But that's exactly what everybody says. I didn't catch where did the misunderstanding come fromMaybe so, but I still think they look like 162s…
I wonder if this is Mike Bougue's old B-23. His languished in N. California after he passed away. His had the red and white rudder
