    This launch site is still the only best preserved in West Flanders. But no V1 bomb has ever been fired.

        When you walk into the forest from the Canadaweg you soon notice a concrete path that sends you straight to the remains of the V1 base.

        It was one of the eighteen V1 bases that the German army had built in West Flanders. Forced labourers, especially Russians, were allowed to do the dirty work. They were locked up in labor camps in Markhove and Proven.

        Target London

        From Proven, the German army wanted to bombard London with V1s, 200 kilometers as the crow flies. The flying bomb had a range of up to 150 miles.
