Sorry, not Tunisia. It is on the continent of Europe.

Sorry, not in the Netherlands, nor in Belgium, although the monument has a connection to Belgium. The monument in the first photograph did not survive World War II.

Not Maubeuge, nor Villacoublay. The monument honored a French WW.I ace.

Not Le Bourget. See post #3549. The fallen French WW.I hero is also honored by a monument in Belgium.

Sorry, it is not Dunkerque. The monument was to Georges Guynemer. You chaps seem as keen as mustard to identify this aerodrome, so I'll give you another clue: Dunkerque is too far nord.

Sorry, not Vauciennes. I do understand that the HQ Armee de l'air in Paris has a monument to Georges Guynemer, but the mystery aerodrome is not in the vicinity of Paris.
