Re: Seeking confirmation that photo was taken at Alencon AF, France, summer, 1940
Hello,
It might help to know where V.(Z)/LG1 was based during the spring-early summer of 1940, although this was not necessarily taken at one of the unit's main bases.
1) Mannehiem-Sandhofen AF, Germany (from 11.39 - 13.05.40
2) Wiesbaden AF, Germany (from 13.05.40 - 18.05.40
3) Neufchateau AF, Belgium? (from 18.05.40 - 19.05.40
4) Trier AF, Germany (from 19.05.40 - 20.05.40)
5) St Marie-Chevigny AF, Belgium (from 20.05.40 - 28.06.40)
6) Alencon AF, France (from 28.06.40 to 12.06.40 -- staging through Cherbourg)
7) Theville AF, France (from 14.07.40 - 21.07.40 -- staging through Rocuancourt)
Thereafter staging through Cherbourg, Rocuancort, and Lessay, France, until started flying from Ligescourt for the middle part of the Battle of Britain
This may help figure out where this is.
