Re: captured helicopter
Hi, guys!
The airfield in the first post by Snautzer is Cherbourg-Théville (nope: "Cherbourg-Querqueville" - see below). Typically French hangars pointed in the direction of a French airfield... (Both hangars and water tower can be seen in another picture of a Bf 109 when you google "cherbourg-theville luftwaffe".)
There are many more interesting pictures at Ebay - you can see a crane hoisting a Do 335 onto the HMS Reaper. The crane in question has the number BD-502 on it, which indicates it's a US Navy Derrick Crane Barge.

EDIT: the correct name for the airfield in the picture is "Cherbourg-Querqueville"..! (Théville is to the east of Maupertus...)
