Tim,
Freedom of Information in the USA has finally revealed the truth behind the cancellation of the Avro Arrow- yes "pressure" from the Eisenhower administration, plus the "excuse" by the Canadian PM, Diefenbaker, that the project was too expensive.
Remembering the enormous political row in 1965, my guess is possible de-classification of documents after 50 years, a variation of the 30 year rule, in 2015 or total silence!
Stranger things have happened.
Why was the crash report following the death of Harry Hawker kept secret for 50 years?
Ciarain.
Ps.
I do not subscribe to various conspiracy theories, it was a badly managed project, as much the fault of BAC as the brain dead Air Marshalls who concocted the ridiculous specification in the first place.
