So, yeah, how did that Arrow thing work out? You must have hundreds of them.

Turns out it was smarter to buy missiles that only worked with warheads we didn’t want (from what I remember). Such is life in Canada.

At least we have one!

They certainly knew how to design beautiful aircraft at AVRO.

and even a car called the Harper Runabout.
