Re: French airfields around Lille
According to some digging I did a number of years ago, as of Nov 40:
Stab/KG 53 Lille Nord
I/KG 53 Vitry-en-Artois
II/KG 53 Lille Vendeville
III/KG 53 Lille Mouvaux
Stab, I & II/KG 53 were still there in Jan 41 but in March, II/KG 53 was in Lille Nord but moved back to Vendeville for April 41.
As to why they moved, it could be simply that the airfield became unusable for a time due to Winter weather
