Hello Scott!

For your information, the picture "near Frévent" shows the Bonnières-Beauvoir "Versorgungstelle nr 1003" (advanced V1 depot).
Not visible just over the top of the picture is located the V1 launching site ("Bois Carré" type, Nr 654) of Beauvoir. The rather "clean" taxiway one can see (when not bomb-obliterated) in the lower half of the photo is the NW part of the peripheral taxiway of the Beauvoir airfield (origin BEF, closely followed by lengthy German tenure). The airfield had a concrete runway located just below the photo frame...
Needless to say the airfield was one of the most damaged ever, considering its close proximity to no less than two heavy Noball targets!
The very visible runway often served as a good clue to the US and RAF crew coming to bomb Beauvoir Bonnières (and this happened many times!)...
Today most of the two Noball sites installations are still visible; next to nothing is left of the airfield.
The intensity of the successive bombings is still noticeable on aerial photos as well as on the ground, 60 years later...

I am trying to identify the unknown Noball target, but short of testing the 96 possibilities one by one, it will be hard...

Amically,

JV
