France or Germany?
neither of both, but a lot of French was spoken. And the uninvited visit by the germans, marked the end of the lighter than air era for that airbase (and for the airforce as a whole as a matter of fact)
nope, although Antwerp has also a history going back to the 1920's (the airport building is still largely the original from that era). But it never had a permanent role as an airbase (excluding the years of those uninvited visitors)
