Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown, a test pilot who holds the record for number of different aircraft flown, was asked about the ME262. Jump to 6:30 for that part.

Is it supposed to be the same aircraft? The first photo is from 1950 but didn't make it into a LIFE magazine article until 1953, this story on the aircraft type notes that the particular aircraft in the photo had crashed and was destroyed before the article was even published.

Oh, you're right. The article does say that they are two different aircraft. Last picture was Saudi Arabia.
