Looks like a nice collection!

But one question... who's that strange guy in the long black coat that keeps on getting in front of the pretty airplanes? ...  ;)  ;D

Theoretically speaking... Do they have enough material to build an Avro Arrow?

I mean the damn thing should scream out : GO CANADA!

well, no. mainly because the engineering is not there, when the Dieffenbaker Government ordered the arrow to be destroyed, all the work that came with it, as well as custom tools and such were destroyed as well. very little remains.
