Belgian Armed Forces
Army Airfields
Normally, the position is the airfield reference point (ARP)*, the center point of the airport.
As some of these airfields no longer exist, the exact ARP was difficult to determine. Hence I have instead
placed those positions at the center of the village (or place) for which the airfield was named.
