Correction to #69.
ZG 26
Please disregard "CX/JQ/102 is then a pointer to a large part of this Geschwader being subsequently transferred from France back to Germany a little later in July."
In replacement "CX/JQ/102 indicates that at the start of July consideration was being given to the transfer of a large part of this Geschwader from France back to Germany. However in the event none of this actually happened."

The evidence behind this change of heart is spotting the loss of a 3./ZG 26 aircraft on 6th August during a flight from Barly (III./ZG 26 base) to Yvrench (I./ZG 26 base). This suggests that all of ZG 26 did remain in France throughout July, but the parts remaining far from the coast in lower Picardy were held back as non-operational. Individual Gruppen were then progressively fed into the battle over Britain as each of the airfields around St.Omer was made operational, arriving in the sequence:
III./ZG 26 to St.Omer-Arques in July (to a wholly new airfield),
and in August Stab & I./ZG 26 to St.Omer-Clairmarais (another wholly new airfield), and lastly II./ZG 26 to St.Omer-Wizernes (aka St.Omer-Longuenesse, a renovated French Air Force airfield). It was possibly a part of this that the Germans laid down the concrete runway at Wizernes.
