Air Rebase range bug

[Courtenay]

I am trying to fly a range 9 Italian float plane from Sicily to La Rochelle and MWiF won't let me do it. The route is exactly 27 hexes long, with all hexes being over either Axis controlled land hexes or the unoccupied Italian Coast sea area.

Looking further, MWiF will let me fly to Rouen, 25 hexes distant, but not Le Havre, 26 hexes distant. Where are there two hexes that the Italians can't fly over (not counting Sicily or Vichy, which are of course barred)?

(Picture was edited to show plane both at start and end of its move.)

It is a known and reported bug, that where are cases in MWIF, if the most direct route for movement of air units, especially with their regular (printed) range modified, is blocked for example by one enemy controlled hex, MWIF will not allow such move, even if a small detour over own controlled hexes would still be within range. It seems, the pathfinding logic in such cases checks only for one possible route, the most direct one in hexes.
Only solution so far: If opponent player confirm legality of such move, edit the game file accordingly.

I see, thank you. It is surprising that it lets me fly to Rouen, then.
