This plane had registration V-35 and was constructed from residual Me 262A-1a or Me 262B-1a in the Avia factory after the end WWII. It was transported by train to Žatec where two further Me-262s were used to complete the rebuild. It flew at first as a testbed with the Aeronautical Research Institute (LVÚ) and in November, 1950 it was transferred to the 5. stíhací letka (5th Fighter Squadron).
