    I have been trying to track down the list of German aircraft shipped back to the US at the end of the war (including the 2 AR 234s) when I found this:

    May not be news to some people, but interesting none the less. Any progress with that Horton? Quite a plane.

    Great pics from the MAI there – what a place!
    I see from Wiki that at least one 262 along with the Avia S-92 copy survive in Prague. Perhaps Ar 234s were used more on the western front?

    I presume German jets found their way to Russia after the war, as they did to the UK and America. Anyone know if any have survived?

    Would love to see a lightning at the Wattisham museum. Not sure that the airfield is up to taxiing as it is still operational, but the hunter & phantom seem to be getting good care & covered storage.

    As far as I can tell the location is in Uttar Pradesh, must look up his military record & see what he was up to over there. Several of my family seem to have been out in India around that time.

    Thanks for the comments & info – they have been gradually deteriorating over time so I needed to scan the photos in before they get worse.

    Id’ be interested to know how innovative the use of magnesium & titanium was in the airframe. Had they been used to any significant degree before? Certainly titanium was used in the SR71 a few years later – perhaps another cause of conspiracy?
