Due to fuel shortage, these 3 Arados had to make emergency landings near Heerenveen on February 19, 1938. "6" and "10" were put down just south of the city, "3" was able to fly for another 18km before having to land. They belonged to the Jagdgeschwader 134 "Horst Wessel" (JG134), based out of Dortmund. They were ferried to Eelde after the investigations had been completed and they were finally able to depart to Germany on the 25th of February, having been delayed for 1 day due to fog.
