Airport identification
 

Hi,
please does anyone know the name of the airport or the unit in the photo?
On the back of the photo is the date: July 1943
Thank you for any information!
Regards Tony

This looks like a line up of Fw 190 A-6 somewhere "An der Kanal Küste", if we are to trust writing across the photo.

Maybe Woensdrecht?

John and sidney, thank you both very much for your quick reply.
Regards Tony

Re: Airport identification
 

Have you got a unit as this might make things easier as in all honesty, this could be anywhere

Re: Airport identification
 

Chris, you're right, there are no details in this photo that could help with identification.
But maybe someone knows this photo and will help me find the answer.
Thank you Tony

I looked again and compared it with other pictures of Woensdrecht. That shed on the right hand side is a 99% match. I am pretty sure this is II./JG 1.

Re: Airport identification
 

That's great!
John, thank you very much for your help.

If you have Mombeek's JG 1 or Dutch Airfield book you will see the wooden shed on other pictures

Re: Airport identification
 

I have a great book by Eric Mombeek "DEFENDING THE RECH". On page 149 is a photo of Fw 190 at Woensdrecht Airport. You're right - it's similar. But I'm not sure. Aircraft II.Gruppe JG 1 had a painted emblem "Tatzelwurm". In my photo I do not see this emblem.

One other thing to consider are such airfield constructions were a standard design-for example the hangars at Triqueville were found elsewhere

Chris, sure, but the combination and looks of the whole scene is quite convincing.
