No buyers. Regardless of several speed/category records, even Howard Hughes, (who actually flew the AVRO Jetliner), didn't buy it.

The design was too Canadian, meaning "Not American".

As evidenced on the photo link, AVRO Canada considered wing mounted turbojets: (Note the Viscount-sized port holes)
