No such list in his maximum 4 volume effort, together with Thomas, though. Every squadron with 2nd TAF listed with all bases, and a very brief (!!) look-through by me failed to produce any B.104 in there.

Most probably a piece of land intended to make some kind of airstrip.

Hi Stig

B.104 Damm certainly existed - both 125 Wing and 39 Recce Wing personnel were there (including my father ), it is mentioned in the 125 Wing ORB (which also stated that 39 Recce Wing were there) and, presumably, is mentioned in the ORB of 39 Recce Wing as well - JEJ even mentions it in "Wing Leader" but the actual squadrons of 125 Wing (41, 130, 350) never flew from there as they were sent to B.106 Twente Enschede.

cheers

Allan
