Re: Wieringermeer Airfield 1940
According to British Air Ministry A.I.2(b) map Holland - Airfields and Seaplane Bases dated 31.12.42, Wieringermeer/Amstel and Middenmeer were two separate landing grounds, one almost next to the other, and both identified as "Decoy A/D" (meaning dummy airdromes). This is confirmed in British Air Ministry A.I.2(b) map Holland - Airfields and Seaplane Bases dated Apr '44. My previous cited source by Grimm, van Loo and de Winter also shows Wieringermeer and Middenmeer as two separate entities.
So this suggests that the "ORB" is correct.
