Thumbs up Submerged Avro Arrow located in Lake Ontario

A german research dive robot on a test run has located the remains of two Avro CF-105 Arrow prototypes inside Lake Ontario. They had been used for firing tests at the lake and fell into it.

Original Aircraft was the claim above. Not sure if it could be related to just "test models" down here:

Can only be models. All the actual aircraft were accounted for at the demise of the programme.

Two, as it happens. As well as that one at Cosford, there is also XR222 at Duxford.

(I think there's also a cockpit section at Brooklands)
