Well That’s it for us. Have had enough abuse from Social Media (particularly Reddit). Site will run until current subscription expires. Had just hoped to share pictures and our travels with people . Was also a great help with my mental health, but just can’t take the shit anymore. Enjoy the existing pages while they last.

Arado Ar 196A-3

The Arado Ar 196A-3 was introduced as a successor to the Ar 196A-4 and underwent production until 1943, when it was eventually replaced by the A-5 model on the assembly line. Operated by a BMW 132K nine-cylinder radial engine boasting 960 horsepower, the A-3 retained the same armament specifications as the A-4. This included two 20 mm MG FF cannons integrated into the wings, a 7.92 mm MG 17 machine gun positioned within the cowling, and an additional 7.92 mm MG 17 machine gun located at the rear end of the cockpit. In terms of its payload capacity, the A-3 had the ability to carry two 50 kg (110 lb) bombs beneath its wings or two depth charges specifically designed for anti-submarine warfare.
