1.(F)/22, based in 06/1940?

Hi All,
just tried to understand where the unit was beased in June 1040.
In the link (Michael Holm) http://ww2.dk/air/recon/aufklg22.html I couln't find it. June 1940 is not mentioned.

Any idea where the unit was located in June 1940?
Tank you in advance
Rolf

All I could find in ULTRA was that they had two He 111 at Stavanger on 9 May 1940 and were part of VIII. Fliegerkorps in August.

The only thing I can add is that on the first of June, 1.(F)/22 was operating under Gen. d. Lw. b. Ob. d. H and suffered a loss that day (see RL 2-III/1174 p. 272 and p. 21). The beobachter is identified as Ob.ltn Opderbeck.

deZeng & Stankey give:

OPDERBECK, Kurt ... 01.06.1940 Oblt. in 1. (F)/Aufkl.Gr. 22 POW and WIA - in Do 17P (4N+FH) shot up by GC 1/5 between Bourguignon and Jully-sur-Sarce.
