Rely Aerodrome Then and Now
The site of Rely aerodrome in the Great War was just on the 100 m contour mark on a plateau northwest of the village. The land gently rises up from the Lys and its tributary streams. The airfield lay next to a road running southeast from Thérouanne through Estrée Blanche to Arras in a sufficiently straight line to suggest a Roman origin.
