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

3. This portside view gives an excellent example of the open hatch that allowed access to the kabine with its surround of periplex panels. To climb up to this opening, a series of recessed hand and footholds was included on the port side of the fuselage immediately behind the cockpit. As well, a retractable step could be lowered. The wear and tear marks on the coverings of these holds are an additional aid in the recognition of individual aircraft. The collapsed starboard oleo can be seen in this photo.

4. This photo shows that the splinter camouflage of the upper surfaces was given a coat of matte lacquer over which the white balkenkreuz was added, giving the centre cross a two-tone effect. As "F1+AA" was unserviceable, it was likely scrapped at Flensburg or dismantled for parts.
