Some experiments took place combining searchlights with Ar 68 E and F both in Spain and in Germany, but little is known about the specific results. The aircraft in question were based at La Cenia, Southern Catalonia intended to be used as twilight and provisional night fighters. The aircraft they were coded; 9-1 9-2 and 9-3. Used occasionally for ground attack during the battle of Ebro, and the advance into Catalonia Jan-Feb 1939. Handed to the nationalists at the end of the war, under commandof Capt. Javier Murcia.  Two of these Arado's were still flying in 1945,when their serial code was changed to C-11. This experiments had little or none influence in what was going to be the Nachtjagd.
