Drama Documentary Avro Arrow

[Windy Militant]

The Arrow drama doc now on True entertainment (Virgin 189 Sky 184 Freesat 142) not sure how good it will be but some archive film used in what I've seen so far is interesting.

So far, so good, but is there a Part 2?

OK fess up who's got 206! :suspect:

So far, so good, but is there a Part 2? Yes, it followed immediately after Part 1, so four hours in total. I think it was originally shown on TE as a six-part series.

OK fess up who's got 206! According to Bill Zuk's book 'The Avro Arrow Story', the nose and front landing gear of RL-206 are displayed in the Canada Aviation Museum.

Missed it. Any idea if/when it will be shown again?

Sadly, I missed this programme as well...

There are some bits of an Arrow in the Canadian National museum at Rockliffe, Ottawa. This is a superb museumto visit. in addition, a full size replica was in a museum at Toronto. This, I believe has closed reecntly, so the exhibits are in store right now.

Having read a few stories on the whole Arrow project, the cancellation (and there are myriad theories as to why this hapened), was a tragic event, as the jet was a world beater. It's often called the Canadian TSR 2......

Whatever you believe about the politics behind it's cancelleation, it was a beautiful aircraft to look at!

Nice picture shame that's all that's left of her.
Apparently the legend of the one that got away has been disproved by the records held by the scrappers, the weight of the scrap bought tallied with the weight of the aircraft destroyed.:{
