I've only ever known it as Halpenny Green, right from flying gliders at Cosford late 80's early 90's. I'm pretty sure that's what it was on the half mil. When did they change the name? From Bobbington that is?

The name was changed from Bobbington to Halfpenny green in September 1943. Bobbington had frequently been confused with Bovington with fairly obvious consequences.

Hen Draig: I think you meant Bovingdon not Bovington. Bovingdon (Herts) was an airfield allocated to USAAF whereas Bovington (Dorset) is an Army base. T.E. Shaw (better known as Lawrence of Arabia, met his demise nearby.

Chevvron you are right, just demonstrates how easy it is to get names confused. The same problem happened with RAF Shotwick which became RAF Sealand and RAF Scopwick which became RAF Digby.

This is an extract of the IGN photo of 1947. It is freely accessible (as is the rest of France) on GEOPORTAIL:

Hello!
Considering the relative lack of activity here (and also that I am back from under my cumulus), I propose this one:
It should not be very difficult; however I will give a clue there (note that the A/C type is relevant):
Good luck!

Excellent Cuefaye!
Boulogne Alprech it is (how did you find out by the way?)!
The A/C were Chance Vought V156F ("Vindicator" in US designation) from the French Navy AB3 squadron. They were destroyed by He 111 on May 10th, 1940.
