A first for me to see this aircraft type flying. Being towed by a Do.27 and after release gently gliding down to the RWY. Superb! Operated by the Messerschmitt Stiftung.

On display at Planes of Fame Air Museum in the markings of 2./JG 400. A two-wheeled red and white dolly that was attached to the retractable skid is visible in front of the replica. It would be jettisoned as the Komet became airborne. Flight testing for the world's first operational rocket-powered fighter was carried out by Erprobungskommando (EKdo) 16 at Bad Zwischenahn. A bad landing was fatal. Operational fighters were flown by JG 400 under command of Luftflotte Reich, with its Staffeln typically moving in the axis of Brandis to Salzwedel, Nordholz and finally Husum to end the war.

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.
