Messerschmitt Me.262. Part four. - Foreign users part two

We keep covering more foreign users of the mighty Me.262. Now it's the turn for:

• United Kingdom: The British forces managed to capture a Me.262 in Faßberg, located northern-central Germany on 6th May 1945 when the war in Europe was almost over. Some few days after, when the war was already over, it was moved to Lubeck, occupied by British troops, in order to test it. The New Zealander Warren Edward Schrader was the first one to test it on 29th May. The fate of this Me.262 is unknown, but, more likely, it was moved into the United Kingdom and eventually shown in some museum there.
• France: The French got some Me.262s when American troops captured the airfield of Lechfeld, in Bavaria. Initially it was handed over to the Frenchs who tested it from June until September 1945 and then, according to some sources it was either destroyed (most unlikely due to the advanced nature of the aircraft) or given to the Americans who tested the machine further. (See our previous post about the foreign users of the Me.262 where we wrote about the Me.262 in American hands)
  Anyway, it's known that two years after the war, in 1947, the Frenchs were still testing one Me.262 at CEV Bretigny.

As it was the first jet fighter, we also couldn't resist the temptation of how it would look like with some German allies like Hungary or the Italian Social Republic. Those two drawings are purely fictional as the Me.262 wasn't exported whatsoever.

Marton X/V

The concept of a cantilever monoplane pusher-puller fighter with twin tail units on booms was retaken by Hungarian engineers at the end of 1942.
As the locally-built fighter, the Weiss WM-23 'Ezüst Nyíl' proved to be obsolete, the Royal Hungarian Air Force centered their attention on Martons' project.
Externally it resembled the original Fokker D.XXIII, the first fighter flying with such configuration, however it was shaped more aerodynamically. The prototype was built along 1943 and was powered by two Daimler-Benz DB.605 engines, one in pusher and another one in puller configuration yielding each of them 1475hp of power. Expected maximum speed was of, at least 580km/h (360,40mph) at some altittude that haven't been found.
It was going to be armed with two 20mm guns plus another two 12.7mm machine guns, the late ones placed in the nose over the engine and the first ones placed in the wings, however the prototype never had armament installed.
The sole prototype was destroyed in an US air raid on 13th April 1944, so the programme was abandoned and the Royal Hungarian Air Force decided that it was best to concentrate on the already adquired Messerschmitt Bf.109G and Messerschmitt Me.210.
