Bulgarian Ar 196 A-3

Hi guys!
My name is Yves, I live in Toronto and since years I'm trying to track the history of the 12 Arados Ar 196 A-3 delivered to Bulgaria in spring/summer 1943. No other country received officially (or unofficially) this beautiful plane during and after the W.W.II. Today the only preserved A-3 (built in Germany) is in the Bulgarian Air force Museum (The 2 Ar 196 A-5 in the USA were built in Holland).
I have a lot of informations about the 12 and have contacted many famous historians and authors in Germany (Koos, Kranzhoff,Cohaucz,Selinger , etc.) in the last 5-8 years looking for every minor detail possible.
Do you have any further information?
I'll welcome everything you can send and try to answer everything you want to know.
8 years ago I've posted a readers letter in "Jet Prop" about the preserved Ar 196 in Bulgaria with some wrong conclusions of mine. In the meantime many of them changed and I'm pretty sure I already have some unic informations. But nobody knows everything!
So if you believe you have something interesting, please write me.
I'm ready to share original and after war photos of Ar 196 in Bulgarian duty.
By the way, here are the Werknummern of the 12 aircrafts :
0219, 0244, 0245, 0247, 0252, 0253, 0255, 0256, 0257, 0258, 0261, 0262 - do you have any source with WNr. of the produced Ar 196? (The preserved aircraft is WNr.0219).

Best Regards,
Yves
