19. The satellite airfield of Stavanger-Forus, Norway, was located 4.5 km. ENE of the main Stavanger-Sola
fliegerhorst. It was here in May 1945 that most of the captured Arado Ar 234s were being stored, and because of unauthorized flights in Germany, the rudders of German jets in British hands were removed instead of propellers. In this photo of Arados still in their German markings, there is one aircraft near the far end of the line-up that is wearing the winter camouflage of KG 76.

20. This is W.Nr. 140596 "F1+HT" (yellow "H") that was flown to Sola on 5 May 1945 from Leck, Germany, probably by
Ltn. Alfred Frank of 9./KG 76 (see Jan Horn,
KG 76 Die Chronik ..., (2019), p. 309). Note the positions of the nosewheels.

21. The hilly background, white posts for wire fencing and the irregular concrete slabs with gaps of vegetation identify photos taken at Forus. On its starboard side, Ar 234 B-2 "F1+HT" (yellow "H") shows a distinctive winter camo pattern. Both this jet and the Arado beside it lack the nacelle fairings and racks for the long-range auxilliary fuel tanks that are seen on the recce Arados.
