The Arrow cancellation seemed to have an even bigger impact on the Canadians than the TSR2 cancellation did on us. I visited the Winnipeg Air Museum last summer - small but interesting - and there was a most illuminating section devoted to this very advanced aircraft. Perhaps what gets our goats so much is the way the governments responsible for such cancellations insist that the test aircraft, the jigs, the plans and everything connected with the projects is destroyed. No trace must remain! I suppose we should be grateful that at least the personnel were spared!
