Yes Chris,
But both Stab and II. used - during that period - Saint-Léger airfield which is much more closer from Berck and in direct line when coming back from England ... and more logical after receiving 270 shots.
But, of course I don't know much more except that is exactly what was collected ( numbers of rounds received by that plane) by the local historian when he met that "wart" in 1979.
Infortunately the article isn't on line anymore.
THIS, ONLY
IF the "Saint Léger" quoted in Michael Holmes site is the good one since we can find five or six "Saint-Léger-something" but none Saint Léger alone!!!! That is writing "Saint Léger" is not relevant ... as usual.
