Auto Credit Based on Dumpworks's Heinkel He-280

This aircraft was only found about 17yrs ago when a man sold photos of it on ebay he says it was meant to fool allied spies and reconaissance in making then think the Germans didn't have a functional jet, if you notice the "Spirale" looks extremely similar to the He-280 that was the point, there are no records of it ever being flown (activator 1 to ignite engine)
