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.

For once, it IS relevant...The "Saint Léger" in question is 14km SSE Arras downtown. Few remnants of the airfield save for a taxitrack section clearly visible. The arrangement of this airfield was rather unusual (a long crushed stone peripheral taxiway from which several "antennas"-like track sections led toward revetments (usually hay bales and netting).
There were a blister hangar and a large rectangular hangar for repairs, as well as a massive firing butt (now eradicated by the Thalys TGV line).
