Hi Ludwig:
This was mos common, an example would LeChelle Airfield, In the German advance by the German 2.Armee on the Somme, the British RFC Squadron moved outand and shortly afterward Jagdgeschwader Nr.1 Richthofen moved in. The RAF left in such a hurry, they left fuel, food etc, and four Besseneau Hangars behind. It was probably a day separation.
Then the reverse came about 9-10 August 1918.
This was most common.
Blue skies Ludwig,
