Prayers heading your way from the Northern side of the Medicine Line.

Imagine the development that might have taken place from the ban to today.

For the manned, sub-sonic bombers, of that time, I nominate the AVRO CF-100 "Canuck" as the best interceptor of that era. 26 ballistic rocket in each wing pod and eight .50 caliber Browning machine guns in an underbelly pod. All in one piece quick change out systems.

When my Father was transferred from CEPE* to Public Relations, the Golden Hawks became his main focus for a while. I still have the shoulder patches for the team. * Central Experimental and Proving Establishment. (He got to see and play with all the cool stuff!)

One of the last true Interceptors of manned bombers. No guns, only missiles. A one mission aircraft. My Father was working of the missile weapon system for it when it was cancelled, following the launch of Sputnik.

Canadair CL-84 Dynavert 1969 and landing on USS Guam in 1973

I took advantage of ADI's "Contact Us" feature and asked about TB production. Maybe we should all give them a nudge??

YEP! SOME DAYS!

We heard a rumour about that elsewhere, but didn't really believe it. But since you've admitted it..............

Mine just keep failing. No explosions. If you still have any incandescent bulbs around, maybe try one of those. That's what I'm going to try.

In the late 1940's, the RCAF was retaining their Mustangs as well as converting to jets. Flyable Spits were turned over to Crown Assets for disposal and were selling for $50.00.

BUT-But-But Who'll provide the $$$$$ for Transfer Payments??????????
