Of everything I have heard over that episode, Orion (#33), I’ve not heard of the RAF’s involvement.

Thank you for adding a little more to my meagre knowledge. :eagerness:

Was West Germany’s change of heart due to all that illicit Lockheed money? :rolleyes:
Its very hard to say what was an honest choice and what wasn’t due to all that bribery. :dev2:

Happy to hear the injuries are minor. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hope you’re back in the air again soon.

No. Its not that much fun. This thread is fairly painful.

This is not a forum heavy on statistics. Speaking for myself I enjoy the history and the looks more than ‘which is best’.

As other’s have said, others that know more than me, your’s is not a question that can be answered at all. All those aircraft you listed were good aircraft and a good pilot in any one of those would have given an equally good pilot in any of the others a hard day’s work with an uncertain outcome.

Your question can not and will not have a ‘yes, type XXXX is the best’ type resolution. All it can be is discussed on and on and on…. And I don’t want that.

I did attempt a couple searches on Google. I couldn’t find anything certain. I didn’t think to search the civil reg, and that does work just fine.

Be wary.

The preserved arcraft is an Arado 234B. The profile drawing is of an Arado 234C, the four engined variant. The cockpits are very different. You can see the differences in the framing in the above pictures. Also the C varient shows gun placement that isn’t on the Museum example.

But, I don’t know the measurements or any other details of either, except that the ‘C variant cockpit was obviously larger.

Simply outstanding. :applause:

It wasn’t until the final word of your post that I realized it wasn’t a photograph.
