Flying Arrow II

Another replica, but this time it will be a flying one! The Avro Museum is building a 2/3rd scale replica called the Avro II. Build from composite materials, it is hoped to fly in a couple of years time. Check out their website: http://142.179.170.230/avro/

Avro replica RL-203

Some more pictures of the replica RL-203 at the Toronto Aerospace Museum. Taken by Steve Nelson. Unfortunately the museum is being evicted by greedy land developers. Let us hope this superb collection finds a new safe home!
