The Lyrics

The most famous Me-163 Komet must surely be the red Komet in which EK16 commander Wolfgang Späte flew the first operational mission with a Komet. Without his knowledge, the ground crew painted his aircraft bright red, similar to Von Richthofen's red aircraft in WW1. Apparently confidence in the Komet's invulnerability was high! According to his own accounts, Späte was not amused, and ordered the paint to be removed after the flight. Unfortunately, no photographs seem to exist of this aircraft. Yet it is this aircraft that many modelers wish to portray. However, postwar, a Mr. Kurtz built a wooden glider replica to represent it and that was eventually acquired by EADS and flown with a tow from a Do-27 for a free flight in 2006 during "Family Day". What a sight and with original markings PK+QL and with civilian D-1634 serial in small lettering on the vertical tail and in large lettering under the wing! See beautiful pics below...
The red Komet that flew
(Wolfgang) Späte’s ride

Didn’t know it was painted by ground crew
Crew was smilin’
Dangerous flyin’

They loved the red Komet
Richthofen’s clown
RLM 23 handy
Red paint then added 40 lbs!!!

The red Komet that flew
(Wolfgang) Späte’s ride
One time

Not amused
Not amused
Not amused
EK 16 leader fumed
One time in the air
Surely a sight to see
Was repainted, flights resumed

Not amusing
The red Komet that flew
(Wolfgang) Späte’s ride
(Had Späte fuming)!
