I'd guess that the Hs 129 in post #5651 was the one found at Frankfurt Rhein-Main. The tress look very similar to thoe in photos of Fw 190 F-8 A3+18 which was also found there.

As for the Ar 234 in post #5660, I'd really like to know where that one was!

Hi Nick,

This was previously posted by Rudi. I am jumping to the conclusion that it is the same aircraft.

Thanks Jim, I'd missed that one. Now if I can only work what an Ar 234 was doing at Neuburg-an-der-Donau …

Nick,

At the risk of being overly simplistic but at the end of the war, some landings were just landings of opportunity.

Can't disagree with that, Ed!

Hi Nick,

I think that I have found another picture of this aircraft with the ridge in the background. If so, to my eye the werknummer seems to be 140108 which turns out to be a Rechlin-based test Arado that was sent to Neuburg am Donau to be used as a two-seat aircraft carrying an observer to the viability of the deichselschlepp (rigid-pole method of towing) of the SG 5041. It was tested there in February and March 1945 by pilot Herr Erich Klockner.

However, this is what it should look like:
