What can you tell me about ar-234 t9+GL?

T9-GL ... Ar 234B-2 Werk Nummer 140608 serviced in 3./Versuchsverband d, OKL belonged to the Kommando Bonow. Flown by Oblt. Josef Putzkuhl. Not modified as a night fighter. Transferred from Larz to Lubeck on April 19 1945. Captured by Brits in the Grove and sent to RAE. She came there on June 6 1945. The RAF AM25, serial VK880. It was scrapped at Brize Norton in 1948.
 
On April 19, 1945, was he captured or transported to Lübeck?

Is there a name for the factory camouflage that all ar-234s were painted in?

No. It was the Arado camo accepted by the RLM , very similar to the Luftwaffe standard one for bombers at that time. Later the RLM just chaged the colours only.

Didn't they install a Neptune radar on it?

No. They didn't.

On April 19, 1945, was he captured or transported to Lübeck?

Sorry not 18 April but 19 April. Edited the typo. Unfortunately there is nothing more on the event. But I think it is not the date the aircraft was captured. IMHO the transfer was because of the Rad Army advance. On April 26 an 27 the Stab./KG76 attacked the Russian armour near Berlin taking off just from the Lübeck-Blankensee. On April 19 the Red Army was near the Alt-Lönnewitz airfield and captured it on the next day.
