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.
