Skua,
There is a series of at least 5 books by Mike O'Connor on RFC/RNAS airfields in Northern France and Belgium, as part of the Battleground Europe series. They are available through Amazon. Having been to a number of them myself, I must admit there's generally not much left apart from farmer's fields however, the view from above St.Eloi is certainly worth the look. Vert Galand and Bertangles are on a major road just north of Amiens, and Villers-Brettoneux is just out to the east. In addition to the British Air Services Memorial at St.Omer, there is a CWGC Flying Services Memorial at Arras.
SkippedOnce
Tramecourt was there in WW1 so perhaps these will help.
