Found in Norway, correct? must have been really deep and very cold glacial water to preserve it that well for this long.

I think you may be muddling it with the Arado 196 floatplane - the Arado 96 was an advanced trainer, and I don't think was ever put on floats.

No problem. You make a good point here, too - the fin and rudder was very much an Arado 'signature' like many other designer's vertical stablisers are.

I remember seeing the movie "The Needle", a WW2 espionage pic with Donald Southerland and Kate Nelligan. In it they show an Arado 96 running on a ramp that Southerland's character is going to use to fly to Ireland. It didn't look like vintage film. So what Arado was that and did it or does it fly?

The movie was "The Eye of the Needle". I don't remember the Arado 96 in it, but my guess is that it was either old footage, or another aircraft type, as there are only 3 known Ar-96 survivors, and none are airworthy, or even runable.

Cheers,
Richard

This is Ar 96 B-1, Werk Nr. 4242, PI+EJ. Recovered early in the nineties, now on static restoration with the Norwegian Aircraft historical Museum at Sola:

IIRC, it was a SIPA S.10/11/12in Eye of the Needle. A derivative of the derivative of the Arado 96! ;)
