Jon, very interesting.
We came past the location about 4 weeks ago. Carpiquet is now Caen/Carpiquet airfield and has another landing strip added since WW2. It is still at the same location though.
We also came past Sommervieu airfield. It is easily recognizable where that airfield used to be, when you drive on the road from Bayeux to Arromanches; a hill with a pretty large flat spot on top.
Asnelles also used to be the location of a temporary airfield. It wasn's as easy to spot the location as with Sommervieu, but PSP plates are still widely in use on the farms around Asnelles.
