Airborne V-1 operations from Flg.Hrst. Grove?

Hi,
I have circumstantial evidence indicating that Fliegerhorst Grove ( http://www.gyges.dk/fliegerhorst_grove.htm ) was being prepared to support airborne V-1 launches in late 1944.
1. Resistance reports indicating infrastructure and security measures related to V-1.
2. Post war reports of three buildings, which have some resemblance with the V-1 Richthaus. As opposed to most other buildings at Grove, which remain even to-day, these three buildings were demolished in the 1945 - 1949 time frame.
On the Dutch airfields supporting KG 53/V-1 operations, it was standard to build three V-1 Richthaus.
3. Seven crashes of V-1 on Danish territory in March and April 1945.

Is there any indication in ULTRA traffic or other evidence, which indicate the possible utilization of Grove as a "V-1 base"?
