I'm holding out for a Me1000 (i think thats the number - the one we & the russians copied to make the F86 & the Mig 15)

Nope ME-262 'Swallow'

Not really copied, but the inherent design elements were borrowed for both the MiG and the Sabre.

That is a neat looking aircraft, youve got to hand it to the Nazis, as evil as they were, they did have style.

Actually, this is what I was thinking of - the Messerschmitt P1101 (I think we got one & the Russians got one & thats all they found)

Sorry I couldnt find a better pic, I have some at home in my paper files but I'm not there now
