Dear many

I saw a photos of a Bombay a few weeks in a sale by auction in Ebay site; But I don't know if the picture was taken at Nantes airfield.

A the arrival of german troops in 1940 19th june the airfield was filled of aircrafts wrecks... LeO451, Fairey Battle and Hurricane destroyed by french worker of SNCAo (LeO451) and british troops( Battle and Hurrys) just before the evacuation.
I possess only three little photos of the airfield after the arrival of Germans. The quality is poor but gives a good idea of the state of the airfield.
Friendly.
