Arados Progressing in Norway

In the Flyhistorisk Museum Sola at Stavanger Airport, Norway, the restoration of two rare and significant wartime Luftwaffe aircraft, an Arado Ar 66 C and an Arado Ar 96 B-1, is progressing well.Most advanced of the two projects is Ar 96 B-1 Werknummer 4246/PI+OT, which was used as a communications aircraft by fighter unit 1./JG 5. During a flight between Herdla and Sola on March 13, 1943, engine trouble resulted in the pilot, Obergefreiter Fritz Mühlberger, ditching into Lake Storavatnet.
