Enjoy them, Franck.

Re: Two Me262 photos on eBay

Is it possible "Doris" (54th A.D.S.) turned to be "Jabo Bait" (Watson Whizzer's)?? Camouflage is very close ...

Re: Two Me262 photos on eBay

Sure ... but I didn't see that before since I'm not going to open 120 links....
And they deserve a dedicated thread. Well, that's my point of view.
....
All photos taken at Melun-Villaroche during their transfer flight from Lechfeld to Cherbourg.
...
PS: Not surprinsingly "Doris" already reached more than 300 USD !

Wonderful photographs with original negatives, superb addition to anyone's collection.
Thank you for sharing Franck.

Vince...

PS: Just noticed the auctions are for the negatives, just as good, soon may be lots of photos for sale.

Re: Two Me262 photos on eBay

Thanks all, you're welcome ...

Note that "Dennis" is among auctions but you need to flip it horizontally (check the front wheel position :)

Interesting to note her surname wasn't painted on nose, not yet. And it seems, comparing with other few images we got of her, that US star wasn't positioned at same level on both side; well, it seems to me at least ...

Again with this full batch, WW's 333 i.e. "Pauline" and then "Deeloverly" is always missing.

Last quoted from WW's site/Sturmvogel:

"A I R S H O W
The Command Review at Melun, France.
At Melun, the pilots all selected new names for their aircraft to replace those applied by the 54th ADS. Administrative control numbers (000, 111, 222, etc.) were also assigned to each machine, and the group latched onto Anspach's half-joking idea that they call themselves "Watson's Whizzers." (sic)
Hence the reason I wrote above all machines are pictured at Melun-Villaroche.

Regards, Franck.
