remember, there were rumours of an HG II being completed as well, but it never
turned up in the photographic record.

Donate your memories - write a note on the back and send your old photos to a
reputable museum, don't take them with you when you're gone.


Before the Me 262 HG II (Werk Nummer 111538)could commence flight
trials it was seriously damaged in a ground accident. Repairs were not
completed by war's end.

- from "Luftwaffe Secret Projects: Fighters 1939-1945" pg 85

The HG I (aka Me 262 V9, werk nummer 130004) flew with chief test
pilot Karl Baur at the controls in Jan 1945 while the unfinished HG
III was windtunnel tested by the British in the LFA wind tunnel at
Volkenrode in Nov 1945 with standard unswept tail unit.

- same book, pg 85
