It is classified as a special landing site and approved for light aircraft, small helicopters, self-launching motor gliders and ultralight aircraft, at approximate coordinates 51°39′46 "N, 6°35′45" E
Paperwork and wreck sold to K.H. Bigge, Hamm. Registration D-EDAM cancelled 28.11.61. Major components used in rebuild of D-EDAN by K.H. Bigge and this 'composite' airframe (an almalglamation of D-EDAM and D-EDAN) was registered D-EDAM in 7.72. However, it was registered with the MSN 85478, the MSN of D-EDAN (ex-RAF DE428) which suggests that, depsite the registration, the majority of the airframe was the former D-EDAN.
