    That's pretty cool. Now you can build your own scale replica in the basement!

    In high school in Bramalea, our drafting mechanical teacher had worked at Avro during that time. He had some prints for a small portion of the plane that he showed us, don't recall what section it was. He mentioned at that time that he was not supposed to have them of course.

    Way ahead of you there, I have a plastic model kit. As you can see, I have not made much progress.

    my father worked on the cockpits for the Avro and I was born just as he was getting laid off back in June 1959.

    Bad news.
    Looks like they are not going to build the Arrow replica to full scale as originally planned but about 20% smaller.

    Build it to full scale or don't bother as anything less than full scale is not an accurate representation of the original aircraft.
    3.6 million for a replica,wtf,that's insane.

    Politicians ruin everything.
    I was looking forward to seeing the replica,but now that it wont be full scale I'm not going to waste my time.

    At a time when emergency rooms in Peel region are shutting down and have 12+ hrs of wait times the last thing the town needs to be spending on this nonsense.
    All available funding should be going towards additional staff, equipment and facilities.

    Build a replica, cool.

    Public money, uncool.

    Raise private money from those who view this as important, cool

    Recover funds, make profits from entry fees, cool.

    Use this as model for all discretionary spending of taxpayer money, cool.
