Arado Ar.196 - Foreign users, part three

Now it's time to tell the story about the Arado that fell in British hands.
When Germany invaded Norway in April 1940, an Arado Ar.196 belonging to the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Hipper was captured in the Norwegian city of Lyngstad by a Norwegian made Marinens Flybebaatfabrikk MF.11 on 8th April.
It was towed to Kristiansund by a Norwegian torpedo boat where it was repainted with Norwegian markings. Later, on 18th April, it was flown to the United Kingdom by a Norwegian pilot. It was crashed shortly after when it was on transit to Helensburg naval air base to test it.
When the war ended, at least one operational Ar.196 was left behind by the Germans and it was used by the post war Royal Norwegian Air Force until 1946, operating on Norwegian west coast.
Two Arado Ar.196 were interned in Sweden during the war. The first one when was on its way from Copenhagen to Borholm, it lost its way due to a compass malfunction and entered Swedish airspace, where it was forced to ditch. It remained in Sweden, where it was tested by the F.2 Squadron based in Hägenäs and then it was sold to the Kontinentagentur AB company. After the war, it was flown to Norway where it served with the 8801 RAF Wing and in June 1945with the No.330 (Norwegian) Squadron based in Stavenger Sola.
