Have to wait for an official judgement on that one I suspect John, but it says it's a reconnaissance bomber. To my way of thinking that's the same thing as a Canberra bomber converted for PR.

But if I build it, it will be with the bombs, which puts it "on the fence"

Armed reconnaissance then?

Yes and no


The Ar 234 could be armed at times for bombing missions or camera missions.

Any aircraft whose primary role is for reconnaissance or gathering information is good - maritime, ELINT, AWACS, photographic, AEW - even a Tornado GR1a fits the bill.

The above list isn't exhaustive, something like a Buccaneer or Jaguar with a reconnaissance pod bolted on would be acceptable for example. You might be stretching the definition with the Arado but the more the merrier as far as I am concerned. Build away mate.
