In May 2005 this aircraft was sold in the USA, reportedly to raise money for the purchase of a de Havilland/Airco DH.9, as the IWM had no examples of a World War I bomber in its collection.

Reported to have been captured by British forces at Husum in Germany on 8 May 1945, and at the time of my photograph part of the collection of historic aircraft kept at RAF Colerne. It moved to St Athan in 1975, and on 5 May 1988 it was transferred to the West German Air Force, and is now displayed at the Luftwaffe Museum at Berlin-Gatow.

On display at Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, National Air and Space Museum. It is thought this Komet was tested by Karl Voy of Klemm at Oranienburg in Dec. 1944. Likely captured by the US Army at Esperstedt with other Komets in 1945, it would have belonged to Ergänzungsjagdgeschwader 2 (EJG 2). It was one of five brought back to the USA for evaluation after the war and assigned the code FE-500.

On display at Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, National Air and Space Museum. It is thought this Komet was tested by Karl Voy of Klemm at Oranienburg in Dec. 1944. Likely captured by the US Army at Esperstedt with other Komets in 1945, it would have belonged to Ergänzungsjagdgeschwader 2 (EJG 2). It was one of five brought back to the USA for evaluation after the war and assigned the code FE-500.

This Komet got some repair at Freeman Field , IN after the war. Parts from two other Me-163s were used so the aircraft could be flight tested at Muroc Lake, CA (now Edwards AFB). Unpowered tow flights were made, but delamination of the wooden wings cancelled scheduled powered flights. The aircraft is displayed in unrestored condition after decades of storage.

The world's only operational rocket-powered interceptor, the unique Me 163 was the fastest aircraft of WW2. Its wheels dropped off after take-off, and on landing the aircraft would glide on a retractable skid. Seen here at the Museum of Flight, East Fortune.
