Re: Ar 234 W.Nr. 140608 at Grove: T1+GL or T9+GL?
"#3 (WNr 140608) wurde Mitte April an die 3.(F)/ Aufklarungsgruppe 100 ab gegeben und fiel spatter den Englandern als T9+GL in die Hande."
Bear in mind that the code of FAGr. 100 was T5. T9+_L would have been 3. Versuchsverband OKL. |

FO1062/66 - German Aircraft ferried to Farnborough up to 3/7/45 lists it as TI + GL. TI is clearly a typo for T1. It also states the W,Nr as 140008, again another minor typo.

Thank you, Nick and Steve.

I can't see any Geschwader code on this picture and not on the original either

Re: Ar 234 W.Nr. 140608 at Grove: T1+GL or T9+GL?
I think I can see two possible small characters ahead of the cross but I can't read them (see attached after some adjustments to levels etc.).
Meanwhile, I'm trying to think of a 3. Staffel that had the Ar 234. From memory all the reconnaissance Staffeln were 1.(F)/-something and in KG 76 only the 6., 7., 8. and 9. became operational. |

What Kind of bellytank can be seen beneth the fuselage?
It is far from possible that this could be a Magirusbombe for the nightfigther. |

Re: Ar 234 W.Nr. 140608 at Grove: T1+GL or T9+GL?
It might be of interest that nightfighter Oblt. Josef Pützkuhl flew 140608 for a couple of days on 1,2,4,5 & 7 April 45 for training at Oranienburg (with EKdo Bonow).
It is for a number of reasons it is unlikely that that plane was a converted NF. Before and after that short episode at Oranienburg Pützkuhl flew his Ju88G-6 W7+GL. Bonow and Pützkuhl knew each other from other NF operations. Source: Flugbuch copy Pützkuhl. |
