This was the day they moved from la Brayelle to Roucourt.

Just before 9AM, MvR,

LvR, Wolff and Festner all had victories.
Around 1240 MvR and Wolff scored again.
At 430, Wolff scored again.
Wolff and Simon scored another pair near 645.
Finally, at 730, MvR and Festner got another pair.

That seems to be a pretty full and busy day, especially if they moved as well.

My question is: what are the logistics of moving all the personal stuff, ancillary equipment, vehicles, tents, spare parts, pets (Moritz et al?), ammo, kitchen, etc, while still servicing multiple combat flights of multiple aircraft? At some point in the day, there won't be service available at la Brayelle anymore, and they may not yet be at Roucourt either.
