Any idea as to what it's purpose was?? I'm guessing carrying a 500 or 1000kg bomb or a 900L drop tank. |

Yes, the book, "Me262 Stormbird Rising" by Hugh Morgan, shows similar photos of this configuration and refers to it as the "Deichselschlepp towed bomb". Attached to the 262 by a 4-meter tow bar. A further interesting note was that the wings of the towed bomb were taken from a V1. TP |
