Re: Trying to ID the correct location for AF where I./ZG2 was based during early August, 1940: "St Aubin-Thiberville, France"
Hello,
Someone sent me a message that this St Aubin must have been Saint-Aubin-de-Scellon, France, about 4 kms N of Thiberville. This area is about 25-30 kms SE of Le Havre, France, which would make sense for a Battle of Britain AF location for I./ZG2.
One thing that puzzles me, Thiberville is a actually a much larger village than Saint-Aubin-de-Scellon. So I'm wondering if the Bf110s of I./ZG2 used landing fields at both locations, or the main airfield was actually closer to Saint-Aubin-de-Scellon. It makes a difference in how we explain this. If this is correct it would be Saint-Aubin-de-Scellon Airfield 4 kms N of Thiberville, France. Or maybe the airfield was not really an airfield, but just open ground somewhere between these two villages where the Luftwaffe simply set up a temporary airfield.
Who knows where I./ZG2 actually operated from in this area during August, 1940?
