CF-105 Arrow? But is it a mock up? because I thought all original prototypes were destroyed?

Yeah really is a shame! That plane was made in a wrong era! Kinda like the TSR2! The Cf-105 certainly is a beauty!


Btw.. I saw a movie years ago about the Arrow and it's demise. In the end of the movie it said that one of the prototypes was missing and might still exist... Is there really such a legend?

I'd be kind and class it a full size model, rather than a mock up. Nice looking aeroplane. :)

Slightly more of note though has to be the nose of FM213(?) on the left side of the first picture... :)
