Much appreciated TAAd. In 1959/60 as a techo posted to an RCAF CF-100 allweather/night fighter alert fixture (414 Black Knight Sqdn) in northern Canada, the emerging CF-105 was the talk of the flight line. It was an unimaginable kick-in-the-guts to both line service crews and air crew alike when the government made the policital decision to scrap it. Fifty three years later I still have an Arrow memorabilia window sticker that I refuse to use for fear of the window getting broken and losing it. cheers Riley

What a beaut combination the Arrow and the TSR2 would have made. Both killed off by ignorant governments, both probably bending to Yankie pressure.
