Avro Arrow

A Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum Avro Arrow, RL 201, has just touched down. This all white version models the first Avro Arrow to fly. It's a stunning model and would look stunning displayed with the Corgi BAC TSR.2, XR219, also the first of it's type to fly.

Both these stunning aircraft projects fell victim to politics. Interestingly the American aircraft that were supposed to fulfil the roles of these aircraft were never adopted by either nation.
