1 Air Division
Rocroi, France Photographs

The deployment airfield at Rocroi is not ready for occupancy. However, this airfield has been assigned to 441 Squadron from Marville. The runway at Rocroi is in usable condition but critical items such as POL storage, ammunition storage, and communications are not completed and preclude this airfield being used operationally. In addition, until such time as the warehouses or hangars are completed, pre-stocking cannot be undertaken. Completion and acceptance of the airfield cannot be foreseen before the end of 1959 at the earliest, although limited use may be possible during the summer of 1959. - 30 November 1958

The construction at Rocroi is very slow and little is planned for this year - 31 May 1958
