Most of military aviation history would have been rewritten if the Avro Arrow had continued. Its potential was greater than Lightning, better than the Phantom, and a competitor for TSR2.

Given the basic aircraft, its developments and offshoots could easily have been 'the' aircraft which the RAF didn't have, nor many other airforces, but all wished that they did have the Arrow or its descendants.
