Canadian Jet Airliner

Greetings
Does anyone out there have any info about the four engined airliner built in Canada in the 1950's? I seem to remember that it was Avro or Canadair built and was a "one off". Contacts via the net or published titles would be much appreciated.
Rgds. FPG.

That'll be the Avro C-102 Jetliner.

On 10 December 1956 the Jetliner was ordered destroyed, and after contacting the National Aviation Museum turned up no interest in obtaining the aircraft due to a lack of space, the Jetliner was cut up on the 13th of December 1956 with only the cockpit section surviving.

Looks very similar to the Avro Ashton...
