31. Phil Butler, on page 4 of the Crecy 2022 edition of
War Prizes, captions this photo as, "Arado Ar 234B, WNr 140581, 8H+CH at Stavanger-Sola on 6th August 1945, being ground run for the benefit of the press by surrendered Luftwaffe ground crew...".
Note the extendable step and the point where the auxilliary power cord was plugged in. Creek & Forsyth, in
Blitz Bombers, (Chandos, 2020), p. 172, also identify this ircraft as "8H+CH" W.Nr. 140581 of 1.(F)/33, which was missing from those of that unit captured at Grove-Karup, Denmark. This aircraft was possibly flown to Norway on 5 May 1945 by
Oblt. Ulrich Planck of 1.(F)/33 from Grove.
It is likely that this was the Arado that "Winkel" Brown transferred on 25 September from Stavanger to Schleswig via Grove. In his log, Brown described the attempted next stage on 3 October:
"Ar 234B 140581 Self - Schleswig to Nordholz after running into sea fog on south bank of Zuider Zee and darkness on the way back again. Fuel very low, pitch black and no lights on Nordholz airfield but made it ok, But Haupt. Miersch down on tiny grass airfield at Eelde, O.K."
On 27, October, Brown returned to Nordholz and staging throug Schleswig and Melsbroek, reached RAE Farnsborough that day in W.Nr. 140581. It was the last Ar 234 to reach England. No longer needed, it was transferred to No. 6 MU at Brize Norton for storage on 6 November 1945 and was struck off charge in October 1948 and listed as scrapped.
