He 111 unit on a French airfield June 1940.
 
Could anyone please tell me the identity of a He 111 unit that may have recently occupied a former Allied airfield near Amiens in June 1940 ?

This question arises from a poor quality photograph I have seen. On the back it has '18.6.40' and was noted to be near Amiens. I cannot read the Heinkel unit codes unfortunately.

Could the airfield have been at Glisy ?

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.

The problem you have is there are a number of airfields/airstrips/landing grounds at Amiens and who is to say that this ac was just passing through? Without a code hard to be certain

Thanks Chris. Agree about the multiple airfields. Knowing the unit code might help.

Regards,

Martin.
