Korovye Selo

[Pawel Burchard]

Korovye Selo in Russia, rather important Lw. airfield somewhere along the way Pskov-Ostrov, how is this place named today?

Kind regards,

I don't know, but Korovye Selo is supposed to be located 30 km north of Ostrov.

So maybe Cherskaya ("Cerskaya")?

I also used Google Earth to see if I could find any airfield there, but with no result.

(Try it - it's great. I've been "flying" over lots of places where Graf, Grislawski, Schuck, and others once flew - over the battlefields in Europe and Libya. Fascinating.)

Andy and Christer, thanks for useful hints.
Just found it actually - look here: http://www.corp.mtsgsm.com/coverage/mts/pskov/O-3523/ it is still named Korovye Selo. I presume the a/f could be to the north of the village.

Below is what I received from Pskov archive:

"During the WWII at the territory of the Palkinsky district there existed a village Korovye Selo. The village exists today as well. According to the words of the people living there a German airfield was situated there. Now there is a grainfield. The only thing that reminds about the airfield is a preserved underground shelter consisting of two parts. Now it is used as a cellar for keeping vegetables."

Kind regards,
Pawel
