This film was shot at Markebeke airfield near Kortrijk by Anthony Fokker. You can see Fokker in the last shot on the left. The airfield and the chateau de Bethune are still untouched. The church in the background is Bissegem.

A little difficult as he would have to remove the ten rocker covers first. Following maintenance?
