33. Smith & Creek on page 278 caption this photograph as, "This Ar 234 undergoing an engine test was almost certainly W.Nr. 140141, 4U+FH of 1.(F)/123 which was captured at Stavanger and had RAF markings applied as seen."
On 9 February 1945,
Oblt. Ulrich Planck, who was originally with 1.(F)/123, flew Ar 234 B-2b (SM+SA; Werk-Nr. 140141) from Burg to Rheine where it was coded "4U+FH", (Horn, p. 12). By 5 May, when
Ltn. Wolfgang Ziese flew it from Leck to Stavanger (Horn, p. 92), it was a well-worn veteran with paint peeling from the engine cowls. W.Nr. 140141 also wore a small RLM 21 white "F" on the front of its port fuselage but the fairing and rack under the nacelle in this photo indicates that it is a recce Arado. There is also a white "F" on the nosewheel bracket, likely the standard for 1.(F)/123 aircraft.
Götz, Krüper and Jackstedt of 1.(F)/123 on the morning of 5 May 1945 also attempted to fly from Leck to Stavanger but were unable to reach it, (Horn, p. 92).

34. "4U+FH" was also stored at Forus and is recognizable to the right by its worn cowl and the rack under its engine nacelle. On 25 September 1945,
Hptm. Helmut Miersch of 1./FAGr 1 in W.Nr. 140141 "4U+FH", accompanied by Lt. Cdr. (RN) Eric Brown in W.Nr, 140581 "8H+CH", flew from Stavanger via Grove to Schleswig-Jagel, Germany. After Miersch's mishap at Eelde in W.Nr. 140596, S/Ldr. "Tony" Martindale was sent to Schleswig. On 8 October 1945 he flew 140141 from there via Melsbroek to RAE Farnborough. However, it was no longer needed and on 15 October Eric Brown flew it to No. 6 MU at Brize Norton for storage. It was listed as scrapped and struck off charge on 6 October 1948.
