It's interesting to note that after the British had bombed the V3 site at Mimoyecques, the German engineers, after examining the damage decided that the site could not be repaired and should be abandoned, but, when the British engineers examined the site after it's capture, they concluded that it could be repaired and eventually put into operation, hence they decided to blow it up.

Since the Germans had been pushed well back at this stage, did the British fear that the French might gain control of the site and use it to bombard London, sometime in the future?????
