Identity of two French Airfields

Evening all,I would like help to identify the two airfields in the attached pictures please, are they the same location?
The Heinkel in the first picture possibly has a Wekusta 2 connection and the other is a 3./KG27 Heinkel. Many thanks.
regards
Tony K

Tony,

Do not really but there is a high water-tower close the hangars at Cherbourg-Querqueville.

Hello Tony, Bertrand and udf_00,

The picture with a water-tower was certainly taken at Brest-Lanvéoc airfield and the He 111 is very probably a Wekusta 2 aircraft. But I dont think the other picture shows the same airfield : the shape of the roofs is different.

Thank you Bertrand, udf_00 and Pierre, I had Brest Sud in mind in view of the fact that KG27 often positioned to there for operations to the St Georges Channel or off the south and southeast coasts of Ireland.
