Extract from Atlas Historique des Terrains d'Aviation
This is all that there is on St-Pol Nuncq
The concrete runways were built by the Luftwaffe.
The publication is not comprehensive. For example Caffiers is not listed.
Other web references to Framecourt refer to aircraft being based there to protect King George who was in residence at the nearby Chateau Framecourt. That is on the north side of Framecourt village. So maybe St-Pol is not Framecourt Airfield?
In map building terms, I think its interesting that the field pattern is maintained right up to the edge of the runway. Perhaps this was encouraged as a camouflage measure?
