The order of battle from War in the Air only goes through 1918 March retreat. It lists the squadron locations but not those of Wing.

My guess is Bertangles as only 24 and 41 Sqn based at Conteville.

Any help much appreciated.

Albert,

You're spot on for 22nd RAF Group. I see the confusion. I should have been more specific. 22nd (Army) Wing was its official designation. 24 Sqn was part of it for 1918.

Shred - Bertangles it is. My guess is the move happened on 21 March since Flez got overrun by German infantry the next morning.

Thank you both for the quick response.

p.s. is this listed in War in the Air and I missed it or should I be looking in another source?
