Thanks Sunny.
The self-destructing Arado 196 is the B-series V4, civil registration OVMB. Only three were built incorporating a single main float with stabilising floats. Based on a lengthy evaluation (the stabilising floats tended to 'dig-in' on choppy seas) it was decided to manufacture the twin float A-series.
