Re: NAS PAX Arado Ar 234 information.
While I can't say for certain what ultimately happened to one of the Pax River Arados, I can with some certainity, relate the unlikely fate of one of the Arado's nose sections;a fate I'm sure the German designers never foresaw in their wildest dreams.
In the early 60s, an aquaintance related his excitement at removing the complete nose from one of the Navy's scrapped Arados and, after transporting it back to his upstate NY home, it was "installed" in his bathroom. There you could sit, attending to your business, while imagining you were on a special bombing mission! It seems when the home was later sold, the new owners were so impressed with the home's special bathroom fixture, they decided to kept the Arado in place.
Sorry, but I never found out if what happened next...
