Specific ideas/questions (all for the long term chewing over!) at the moment:

1. Cristot was one of the later Advanced Landing Grounds (made operational 25th July) - just before the Normandy breakout. Did it see much operational use? if so what sort of planes were based there and what sort of operation used was performed (muc hlike the rest of the ALFs I assume - or was Cristot in anyway...
