Téteghem Aerodrome - where exactly was it?

[Gustywinds]

Does anybody have a picture or map that identifies where Téteghem Aerodrome near Dunkirk was?

There was a lot of bad press recently about a refugee camp at Téteghem - is it the same area, perhaps?

These are later period maps of Dunkirk from the British Library Online Gallery. (1940s and 1930s)

I had a quick look but couldn't see the name Téteghem

Téteghem is on the first map, immediately to the north of the Canal des Moëres.

Topgun has given the position of the village. The aerodrome in 2 km South at 19 I 27.b.28.a I have a contemporary plan which I will happily copy for you if you send me a mail address by PM. Roger Austin.
