This disused Transall at the Dammer airfield is certainly a highlight.

It was a great plane for me...

I got to fly it a few times, and I thought the takeoff was great, too.

I just wasn't allowed to land the plane...

Okay, I wanted it that way back then, too 😉

In 1945, advancing Allied troops established a temporary airfield, designated Advanced Landing Ground ALG B-104, for use by the British Royal Air Force. It is currently unclear whether it was located on the site of today's Damme Airfield or, according to coordinates, approximately 350 meters north-northeast of it.[1]

Today's Damme Airfield received approval to begin operations on April 30, 1974. The main initiator of the airfield was the construction contractor Burkhard Stüve from Damme. The 700-meter-long asphalt runway with night flight lighting was put into operation in 1976.

In 1996, the airfield, including its land, buildings, and all technical facilities, was put up for sale. Several members of the Damme Aeroclub joined forces, acquired the airfield, and founded the company Verkehrslandeplatz Damme Besitzgesellschaft. Since then, the flight operations areas have been leased to the Damme Airfield Operating Company, whose shareholders are also the airfield owners. The operating company is responsible for flight operations and all related activities.

A Cessna 172 of the Lower Saxony Fire Service was stationed in Damme since 1989.[2] Following the decommissioning of the old aircraft in 2007, the future of the Damme Fire Service base is uncertain; the state government is not currently planning to replace it.[3]

On March 20, 2012, a retired Transall aircraft of the German Armed Forces, first registered in 1970, landed on the grounds of Damme Airfield and has since been exhibited there by the Museum of Technology, Nature and Aviation.
