Still can't find any diagram or photograph of Tramecourt airfield. I had a look through my Stuka references, as IV St/LG1 operated from there under Von Brauschitsch at the time - but no joy.
It seems the triangle formed by the hamlets of Tramecourt, Maisoncelles and Azincourt (Agincourt) encloses the historic site of the Battle of Agincourt (Henry V and all that). These fields are currently under threat of having a wind farm constructed on them and there is a conservation effort under way to prevent local planners agreeing to place turbines there. This is justified on the grounds that the site has been undisturbed for 588 years, so I suppose that rules it out as the site of the former airfield. You can see the three hamlets on the Google pic above.
