Hi,
Was wondering if any of you Luftwaffe experts can help in identifying this German jet? and the airforce base it was taken at?
Brought back home by a Jewish soldier, British-Palestine army.
Thanks,
Neil.

Hi
It looks like an Me 163 Komet and as for location I can,t help you.

Thanks Martin.
Looking closely at the photo, the back has some sign, and can make out only that it has 2 lines: E.....VALE
PA........TION
Possibly some sort of RAF Station? also a damaged British fighter...
One can see that the paint was taken off the plane, can see a faint swastika on the tail of the jet...
Does this help in locating the base it was taken at?
Neil.
It is a Me 163 Komet, and you can see English on the sign on the building behind it, and parts of a Swastika remains on the tail, and to the right you can see a British spitfire also.
I would say it was a captured Me 163 Komet, and was being going over by British, or American military officers.

Its also a Rocket not a jet.
Cheers Mike
