Hello everyone,
I just bought a few pictures from this unit but found out that up 'till now I only have one confirmed airfield listed for this unit:
Bergnicourt in March 1917 with support from Schusta 15 (still mainly flying Roland C.II, according to Schlachtflieger!)
Thanks in advance for any additional infos!

The initial aim of this thread was to identify the airfield shown on two pictures I have (probably taken by the crew shown on the initial post: the pilot is on the right and the observer on the wing, with a ribbon on his jacket)

The airfield proved to be the one at Pauvres.
If someone wants a better scan of any of these, feel free to ask :-)
