List of former units and aircraft of the Celle Army Airfield
This article lists all units and aircraft formerly stationed at the Celle Army Airfield (also called Immelmann Barracks ), provided that there is reliable evidence for this. Current units, offices and stationed aircraft as well as a detailed description of the facility in the main article → Heeresflugplatz Celle . The Heeresflugabwehr Lehr Bttr 90 was renamed in 1967 to 4 Fla Bttr 3 and was relocated to the Lower Saxony barracks in Barme. But until it was relocated again in 1969 to Hamburg Fischbeck, where the Fla Btl 3 was merged, it was still an independent Bttr 40mmL60 with all supply and organizational units.
After the merging of the Fla Btl3 in 1971, it was equipped with a cheetah and was renamed again to Panzer Fla Btl 3.
