Beauvais/Nivillers airfield
Hello everyone!
This airfield in France was the second part of a "complex" of which the other part was Beauvais Tillé. In opposition to Tillé, Nivillers never got hard-surfaced runways during the german occupation, but was connected to Tillé by a 2.5 km taxiway which still exists nowadays. My question is: when did Nivillers become operational? Was it already in use during the battle of Britain? At this time Tillé was only a grass field and many bomber types were using Beauvais (He-111, Do-17Z, Ju-87 for sure), so the Germans may have realized early the advantage in having a second airfield nearby to relax Tillé's usage... If someone has insights, I would appreciate it... JVM
