Re: Some enlarged and "tweaked" known photos of Ar 234s

59. It is likely that in early May 1945 Arado Ar 234 B-2b W.Nr. 140466 "8H+HH" (black "H") of 1.(F)/33 was transferred from Wittmundhaven, Germany, to Grove-Karup, Denmark and it was captured there intact by elements of the RAF Regiment. In the 1992 Monogram edition of Smith & Creek's Arado 234 Blitz, on page 255, they wrote:
"140466
First flew December 29, 1944, to 1.(F)/33 as 8H+HH, captured by the RAF at Grove, flown to the UK as AM 24, arrived at the RAE on August 27, 1945 ...".
This photo shows "8H+HH" in its Luftwaffe markings at Grove with its werknummer visible.

60. This poor resolution copy of one of Phil Butler's photographs found on page 102 of the 2020 Crecy edition of War Prizes is captioned:
"Arado Ar 234 B-2, W.Nr. 140466, alongside a pair of Messerschmitt Me 262s, possibly at Schleswig, prior to transfer to Farnborough ...".
