NASM's Ar-234. Sorry about the lousy cropping.

That's a fascinating link. I remember reading about the 2 seat Me262 a while back, as stated on the link, it was used as a pattern to produce 5 flying replicas - the man behind the project, Herbert Tischler, worked on the original machines during the war. By the looks of things, he and his team have done a sterling job in restoring this aircraft to its original state (at one time it bore spurious radar antennae which were inappropriate as the aircraft was a trainer and not a nightfighter).

Is the plane in the background what I think it is?
