Thanks Rob and Larry

I'd seen the Wiki entry for Athis airfield. I've no idea whether it's reliable -there is so much on Wiki which is not.

The lat/longs they give are almost exactly where there is what appears to be a triangular section of concrete which I suppose could be an old section of runway. But, they say the airfield was to the SE of Athis village. The section of concrete is to the SW of the village. Like Larry I can't see any other signs of an airfield on Google Earth or Streetview.

I think the only way to settle this is by visiting the area and speaking to local people - there should be somebody at Tours, Athis and/or Plivot who can remember which airfields were where in August 1944. I shall also visit the folk who run the airfield museum at Vraux and stooge around on the ground to see if there are any signs of the pesky Athis airfield.

I've discounted Chalons airfield because it doesn't fit any of the other information - except that an Udet gruppe (III/Jg3) was based there in August.

Thanks again

Chris
