Sure, you keep believing that. Not that there weren't internal issues in the Diefenbaker government or at Avro or anything....

Correct, Fast Cargo.

 

On that topic, here is a good thesis on the Arrow programme, and Canadian defence procurement at that time.

You might also look for CBC's documentary "There Never Was An Arrow" and this radio interview:

 

And Wrench, yes please! Absolutely!

 

By the way, I am currently working on Canadian Spey Phantoms (RCN and RCAF). I don't think there was much an Arrow could do that a Phantom couldn't.

If y'all decide to discuss this, please keep it civil. There are plenty of people who still think of this as a hot button issue.
