The history of this vanished military airfield is, after all, much more fascinating than the sign suggests. The runway built here in the hamlet of "Les Burettes" was constructed by the Belgians in 1940 and was named "Le Culot East" (and "Y-10") by the Americans after the liberation. "Le Culot East" is also the name on the information board. Some additional information: hangarflying.eu/erfgoedsites/first-wing-historical-center
BUT, Les Burettes airfield has a very special role and history as a "secret emergency airfield" that fit into a broader strategy.
