Twelve Ar-196A-3s flew with the Bulgarian AF during WWII, with this particular plane serving from 1943 until 1955 at Chaika airfield near Varna. It is the only remaining A-3 in existance and arrived at the museum in 1991. The plane previously wore the number 3 on the fuselage but, after a repaint, now sports the number 1.

The star exhibit of the Bulgarian aviation museum is without doubt this Arado 196, one of only very few survivors of this type in the world.

This former Luftwaffe Ar 196 was interned in Sweden in 1943. When auctioned in 1945 it was bought by Maj John Turner of MI6, who ran observation posts in the Swedish mountains to look into German-occupied Norway. After war's end Turner flew his plane to Norway without permission - see other photo of this c/n.

Coming from a German training unit, this Ar 196 was interned in Sweden in 1943. In January 1945 it was bought by Maj John Turner of MI6, who ran mountain observation posts to look into German-occupied Norway and thought the Arado, SE-AUO, suitable for his transportation needs. Having issues with the Swedes, Turner had his property flown to Oslo without permission on 27 May 1945. As seen here, it was used for a while by No 330 (Norwegian) Sqn with Norwegian roundels. No 8801 Air Disarmament Wing was looking to scrap German equipment, such as the He 115 in the background, but Turner managed to sell his plane back to Sweden were it towed targets as SE-AWY until crashing in 1947.

The captured German cruiser Prinz Eugen sailed to the USA in 1946 with two Ar 196s on board. The ship's catapult was installed at Mustin Field and some test launches were carried out with spurious markings painted on this aircraft. These were simply copied from an old publicity photo of Ar 196A-4 GA-DX, c/n 0124. This airframe, really an Ar 196A-5 built by Fokker in Amsterdam, is currently in National Air and Space Museum custody for possible restoration. The other Ar 196 from Prinz Eugen is now back in Germany, at Nordholz.

Although designed for shipborne use, the Ar 196 saw use in coastal Lutwaffe units around Europe, and in the far north of Finland and Norway a small unit called the Sumpfnotdienst (swamp rescue service) used the floatplane for rescue, ambulance and occasional infiltration flights. Here an Ar 196A-4 brings a doctor for the 324th Infantry Regiment, likely at the Verman River front. Photo from my new Osprey book on the Arado Ar 196.

These Ar 196A-3 floatplanes served with a training unit based on Germany's Baltic coast. DW-EH, centre, was at one point assigned to the Ar 196 wing in Greece, but maybe never went there. The other two were among the few Arados completed by a reluctant workforce at SNCASO in St Nazaire, France. Bottom is DH-ZH which is not on record with this unit and supposedly went down with the battleship Scharnhorst on Boxing Day, 1943.

Of the 541 of this 1937 shipboard reconnaissance design built, 12 were flown from Varna by the Bulgarian Navy during WWII. This one was almost destroyed in a post-war purge against items of Nazi origin but was hidden away, and is now one of only three complete examples in the world, the other two being in the US
