Based on this list it seems that the photo 770 22? has not been taken in Campoformido. It is quite unlikely, also, that it had been taken on the airfield of Risano (Tissano) because, at least as far as I know, in April 1945 no plane or wreckage had been left on it, and also because in Risano the runaway and the parking areas were paved with concrete while in the picture of 770 22? the the ground is grassy.
