Remembered Today:

Locations of 206 and 18 Squadrons, Oct 1918 thru May 1919?

I'm struggling to find the operating airfields of the two Squadrons during the following periods:

206 Squadron:  4 October 1918 thru 8 May 1919

18 Squadron:  8 May 1919 thru 12 June 1919

 

I'm trying to determine where and when a photo might have been taken, and the locations where these Squadrons were operating during these periods could really help.

Many thanks in advance.

206 were at Alquines between 5th June 1918 and 4th October 1918

                    St Marie Capelle between 5th October 1918 to 23rd October 1918

                    Linscelles East between 24th October 1918 to 25th November 1918

                    Nivelles East between 26th November to 18th/21st 'ish' December 1918

                    Bickendorf between 18th/21st 'ish' December 1918 to 26th May 1919

 

Most but not all of the familiar photos of 206 in that era seem to be taken at Bickendorf, I have one taken 11/11/18 at Lincelles East but there is nothing there to really give you any location details.

Mike,

Thank you so much for the detailed response.  That's exactly what I needed!  I truly appreciate the insights and info you share so generously.  

I'll create another thread to show the actual photos that are bothering me, with a thorough description of what I've uncovered to-date.  It's hugely frustrating because there's so much contradictory information.  

Kind regards,
Mark
