Hi
My great grandfather served in WW1 as a photographer for RNAS (transferring in to the RAF in 1918). From stories that he told my dad we know that he flew in some of the early airships taking photos of the enemy over France and the North Sea.
I have managed to track down his service records from both his time in RNAS and the RAF. We are trying to identify the bases where he was posted.
Below (is hopefully) a screenshot of part of his RNAS record. We can read most of his postings, but are stumped by his 2nd posting - the 3rd line down - dated 29 Dec 16 - 9 Apr 17 (we can do the easy to read postings of President II, Chingford, Crystal Palace and Cranwell).

From the RAF record we have, this states only that he had served in France between the dates above ... can anyone help with the location? - we think it starts "L".
Many thanks in advance
