I'm not for a second challenging you (I wouldn't dare, given your encyclopaedic knowledge and seemingly limitless supply of wonderful photos - btw more, please), but where did you get your information regarding the wartime use of Romorantin from?

According to the comprehensive Luftwaffe Airfields 1933-1945 site (http://www.ww2.dk/Airfields%20-%20France.pdf), the Luftwaffe used it as an aircraft park until 1941 and then again as a ground training base for Luftwaffe recruits 1943/1944. There are no operational units listed as being based there, whilst 1./JG 105 (an operational training unit) was there in 1943.

The site also lists the various Allied raids, culminating in the June 4th effort.

Cheers.
