Quel sont tes sources ? Je ne suis pas convaincu de l'identification Morlaix-Plougean que je connais bien. C'est plat, pas d'arbres autour, foret au Nord Est mais éloigné, et vers l'Ouest le bras de mer est visible. Par contre, cela colle avec les photos visibles sur internet du terrain Estonien.
Plus très utilisé après 42 selon ma source; donc aucune raison d'y trouver un précieux Fw190;
Il y avait bien deux hangars, un petit hangar sur la limite sud et un petit hangar de réparation à l'ouest. Donc pas à côté comme sur la photo !
Ce qui invalide la localisation à Morlais Plougean.
La localisation en Estonie me parait plus probable, et un musée national une source plus sérieuse que Wiki.
On trouve sur le terrain Estonien des levées de terre pour protéger les avions, comme celle sur la droite de la photo, disposition absente sur le terrain Breton, et pour cause, le sol ne s'y prête pas vraiment !

History: extended and improved by the Luftwaffe from occupation in Jun 40 to spring 1941.
Used moderately by fighters and bombers until Feb 42 and then very little after that.Dimensions: approx. 1235 x 870 meters (1350 x 950 yards) and roughly rectangular in shape.

Luftwaffe Airfields 1935-45 illumination, permanent flare-path, beam approach and visual Lorenz systems.
Fuel and Ammunition: refueling loops were at the NW corner and on the E and W boundaries. Bulk fuel was brought in by barge and then taken by fuel truck to the airfield. The main ammunition dump was approx. 455 meters (500 yards) N of the NE boundary.
Infrastructure: had 1 small hangar on the S boundary and 1 small repair hangar in the West dispersal.The station motor pool and garages were at a road junction 1.6 km to the SSW. Most of the main airfield buildings were in a group near the SE corner with the station HQ probably in the Château Trefeunteuniou.
Aircrew were billeted on the outskirts of Morlaix while other personnel were housed in a local college and in an old leather tannery.
There were also barrack huts in a group 1.6 km SSW of the airfield in the same location as the motor pool. The nearest rail connection was in Morlaix.
Dispersal: the 4 dispersal areas – South, East, West and Northwest – had a total of 32 large and 25 small aircraft shelters in May 43.
Defenses: there were 3 heavy and 10 light Flak positions around the airfield in May 43. The airfield was also surrounded by a belt of barbed wire.
