Just a thought.

That could be interesting... how different was the Bf110G-4 radar installation from that on the Me262?

I don't see a use for a trainer aircraft but the two seater night fighter would certainly be useful if a full night bomber scenario were properly completed.

Remagen rail bridge attacks. early March '45
Only around 200 Me 262s of all types ever flew operationally.
Another thousand or so were constructed.

There seems to have been enough of them flying around
to make the RAF paint their Meteors white, to prevent
Allied AAA crews from mistaking them for Luftwaffe jets.
