Blenheim à "Liegescourt" ?

Bonjour,

Voici la photo d'un Blenheim abandonné et très certainement saboté par les Britanniques. Néanmoins, je n'arrive pas à retrouver la localité annoté au dos. Est-ce Liegescourt ?





Désolé pour le torticolis

Salut.
En tapant cette approximation dans un moteur de recherche... on trouve Ligescourt dans la Somme à une vingtaine de km au nord d'Abbeville.

Alors, il y a une faute dans l'annotation au dos...

Et dans le titre du topic du coup ^^ tu dois pouvoir l'éditer dans le premier message.

On parle beaucoup de pilotes allemands à Liegescourt appelation reprise sur des sites en Anglais le nom de Ligescourt donne une commune d'un peu plus de 200 habitants....aucune mention d'un éventuel terrain pendant la 2ème WW ????? Je crois qu'il faut aller à Crécy en Ponthieu pour trouver la localisation exacte

The Airfield

The airfield was built by the British to provide air support before the fall of France in 1940. During the Battle of France, the plan seems to have been to deploy RAF squadrons of Bristol Blenheim light bombers there, but it is not clear how intensively the airfield was used. In the confused days of mid-May 1940 one squadron that was ordered to deploy there did not, due to the absence of any military protection. It is most notable by its occupation by the German Luftwaffe whose wing (in RAF terms, a group of 3 squadrons) II. Gruppe of Zerstörergeschwader 26 of Messerschmitt Bf 110s was stationed there from May 1940 until November 1940 when, after the end of the Battle of Britain, the Gruppe was withdrawn to Germany to rest and re-equip. Several other squadrons came and went, including some Messerschmitt Bf 109s. The entrance to the airfield is still visible (in 2009) on the left of the D12 road from Crécy to Ligescourt, halfway between the two places. Some fortified installations are also visible, hidden beneath trees on various sides of the airfield.
