Me 262 ID "T'as de bons yeux tu sais"!
 

Hi Guys,

among the unknown WNr. There is that one discovered and pictured by the 51st Hospital US.

with the help of one old eBay download we'll be able to get one answer?

Regards, Franck.

Salut Franck,

It is the widely photographed W.Nr.111 755;-))

Cheers

"T'as de bons yeux tu sais"! is this Fr-english? ;-)

Re: Me 262 ID "T'as de bons yeux tu sais"!
 

Ed,

Yeah, and it means "You've got good eyes, you know". It's a joke based on a replica of the well known French film actor Jean Gabin in "Le Quai des Brumes" directed by Marcel Carné in 1938 where he says to actress Michèle Morgan "T'as des beaux yeux, tu sais" (You've got beautiful eyes, you know) and she replies "Embrassez-moi" (Kiss me).

Franck, your turn ;-))

Shure, I am quite expert at French pre-war films :-)

Re: Me 262 ID "T'as de bons yeux tu sais"!
 

Yes Ed,

And it's a reference to Marc sharp eyes performance in last Me262 identification thread!
"Bons" is quite close with "Beaux" in French. Doesn't work in English with "Good" and "Beautiful".
Marc knew/guessed already I wrote it for him. Well I suppose he did. :D

Thank you both! Thank you Marc!.. But "Widely photographed" ???? where?
When these two colour pictures (there is another one and may be a third I didn't keep being too blured) were pointed times ago, no one was able to give the WNr.
And there are two others from eBay...

But "widely"; OK, why not? Do you have them? Send them when you want I'll be happy!

Cheers, Franck.

PS: Marc at last you reached the "Alter Hase" position! It's true you did a lot recently.
PPS: I thought 111 795!!!

Guys,

Could it be this plane was part of KG(J)54? (or should I say: blague dans le coin ;))) I see a faint diagonal stripe from the cockpit on the color picture and a sure diagonal mark on the black/white picture. A step further and there should be a Karoband (unfortunately it isn't)....

Yo Franck,

Thanks for the congrats... It's great to be an old rabbit at long last... (and yet not to feel like one;-)). As for the widely photographed term, you'll have to check back on all the Dan Mc Connell works to see the other -numerous- pics.

Philippe, nothing to add on my side;-))

Cheers
Marc

Hummm!

Dan Mc Connell? The famous bicycle rider? The one who try to fly a Jarty Ja 262??

:p

:-))))

Re: Me 262 ID "T'as de bons yeux tu sais"!
 

Hi,

More seriously ... I've found only one book written by Dan O'connell. Are there many more?

And YES I got one picture in Aéro Journal N°1.

Cheers, Franck.

Re: Me 262 ID "T'as de bons yeux tu sais"!
 

No, only one book, so far :-)

Re: Me 262 ID "T'as de bons yeux tu sais"!
 

Hi Dan,

Thank you to confirm that.
In one of numerous Amazone and similar site pages one is saying that this is the "First part" of your research.
Do you intend to continue it or - at least - to publish an update?

Best regards, Franck.

Re: Me 262 ID "T'as de bons yeux tu sais"!
 

We live in hope of another Dan! :-)

Re: Me 262 ID "T'as de bons yeux tu sais"!
 

That is interesting that it is the "first part of my research" as I don't know about it LOL. I would like to see that page. However, I have been quietly constantly updating the original manuscript with new information and new W.N. It is now MUCH bigger and many new W.N. and photos. Hopefully there will be interest in a heavily revised and updated edition.

Re: Me 262 ID "T'as de bons yeux tu sais"!
 

Dan,

There sure is interest:-))). The sooner, the better.

Cheers
Marc
