SafetyDad Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Sorry about this, two threads in 20 minutes! However I hope you'll agree it's worth it. Go to 1:17 and there's a few seconds of a new Me262 to me - it carries the full markings of the Geschwader Kommodore of JG7. We've become used to a 262 marked with -+- , it appears on several decal sheets, but this is new to me! Pretty sure I haven't seen any pics of this aircraft before. Doesn't seem to carry the Blue/Red RVD bands, but does have the 'running hound' emblem of JG7. I would appreciate the comments of other posters on here who share my interest in the late war Luftwaffe. SD 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steh2o Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 If I look at the screen at an angle, it seems to me (1'18") that the red/blue band is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD ..at the time there was a suggestion that there was a 'green 2' underneath the greyhound, so an unusual machine wearing a combination of Geschwader and Gruppe markings if that is the case.

Yes, I've just been over to your blog and reviewed your description - the Green 2 is beyond my ageing eyes, but it's a neat looking 262.
