Disbos is on a distinguished road
Re: Le Touquet Airfield Today

Hello, Amiens jail is well worth a look. It is on the road from Albert to Amiens (followed by the Operation Jericho Mosquitos) on the right hand side as you enter Amiens. The repaired walls are clearly visible from the road along with a small memorial. There is a civilian cemetery next door where Pickard (apologies for not knowing his rank) and his navigator are buried side by side. Otherwise High Wood Cemetery has some Lancaster crews near the far end, there is a memorial in Fonquevillers to a crashed Halifax which includes an engine and at Grevillers just outside Bapaume you can see concrete dispersal points just off the road.
