There is one Avro hidden away in Alberta it is rumored. there is a movie about it, but I can't remember the name of it offhand.

If you go to the Air Museum in Ottawa - Rockcliffe Airport I think - you will see the front nose and pilot seat portion of one of the originals. Also I believe that there was some parts of the original Avros dropped in Lake Ontario off Prince Edward County (north of Rochester NY).

It was sad politics between the American Kennedy Administration and the Canadian Conservative Admin. got in the way of that plane.

"Also I believe that there was some parts of the original Avros dropped in Lake Ontario off Prince Edward County (north of Rochester NY)."

I believe those were test model fuselages that they used to fire off attached to rockets for stability testing. There are people out there diving for them for some silly reason.

Gee I guess we could start an Avro Arrow ping list here. I have a couple of books on the subject - a good friend who's Canadian is a fanatic about it.

The sad thing is that the Arrow was ahead of its time; it was just designed for a role that turned out to be superfluous (intercepting Soviet manned bombers at Mach 2).
