German loss February 9, 1945.....Ar 96.

Good evening,

This time I am (again) in serious trouble and hope for some information if it is possible.

The matter concerns a german loss on the above date.
On this date an Ar 96 was shot down by a Mustang, flown by P/O Stanley Farmiloe.

It went down in at Treuchtlingen some 20 miles NNW of Munich.

I have some of Farmiloes items and would like to build a model of his Mustang as well as the Ar 96.
Is anything known about this loss, I THINK maybe a school unit??
I have my information from the combat report.

Thank you,

Christian

To be complete, 234 Sqn pilots claimed three Ar 96s shot down (according to the book Fighter Command War Diaries, so I have not the claimant names), while only two are listed in the German loss lists available (same info as Matti above).

A third Ar 96, has possibly crashed that day near Treuchtlingen

9 2 45 5 JG 104 Treuchtlingen 5 km NW, ZS mit Ar96/4610 AR96B-7 550055 DS+UC 100

But I couldnt assert from where is coming the data...
