Thanks Larry. I shall put the photos up tomorrow.

The Bodenorganisation info is interesting - it looks as though III./Jg 3 were using Pocancy as a dispersal field (see Nick's post) when based in the Chalons area.

Vraux and Plivot were both active pre-war and were in use by the RAF and the French in 1939/40. Vraux was reactivated, enlarged and used as a dispersal field in 1944 by the Luftwaffe. Plivot wasn't used by the Luftwaffe according to the Vraux museum people. Perhaps the Luftwaffe built a new airfield south of Tours-sur-Marne to replace Plivot but continued to call it Plivot - that could explain why Tours-sur-Marne isn't mentioned in the Bodenorganisation but Plivot is. Does the Bodenorganisation give exact locations for the airfields?

I've written to the curator at Vraux asking him to double-check what he and others told me about Epernay-Plivot airfield.

If it turns out that Plivot was in fact rebuilt post-war further west of the village of Athis (to become modern Epernay-Plivot) then I think it's fair to assume that the Wikapedia entry is a red herring - it's actually talking about wartime Plivot rather than the airfield at Tours-sur-marne which the USAAF named Athis (A-76) when they took it over from the Luftwaffe in late August 1944.
