Re: More Hi Res Aerial Photos ETO

Hello one last time for today!

The photo "8miles NWOrléans" shows a temporary airfield of the Luftwaffe with what seems to be Ju-88/188 positioned within emplacements just cut out of the woodline.
This wood (the "Bois de l'Alleu") near the Gérilly farm is not even 3km South of the large Orléans-Bricy airbase.
One can suppose that these aircraft were dispersed close to the base but without any obvious connection to the base after near destruction of Bricy in 1944 bombings.
Note that the photo is South-top.
