Wow cool!

US wanted all military fighter jets to be made in the US. Jobs, technology was ripped from Canada to benefit the US industrial complex.

Canada should restart the production of Arrow today. Made with better technology and " Made in Canada" stamp.

Does Don have contact info?

So let's start over ,we still need to protect are Canadian shores .rd 1957

This was very interesting, and thank you.

What a disgrace is that clown Gauthier! The guy never deployed anywhere but he has more medals than many who saw combat action in both world wars. Absolute joke!

The American's outright fear of the Arrow was the cause for it's cancellation. This fear was the result of the unannounced incursion into US airspace - over an airbase. By the time the base scrambled their fastest jets - the F-86 Saber - the Arrow turned and accelerated away from the pursuing jets (that could juuust make Mach 1.1) exceeding Mach 1.7+. The American had nothing that could touch the Arrow. Zero. Nada. Now, Eisenhower regarded Canada as a Pink nation, that would sell the Arrow to a variety of nations belonging to the very young NATO alliance . And though loss of market share was a concern, the biggest issue was the threat of the technology falling into Russian hands. So Eisenhower call Diefenbaker and old him to cancel the program and destroy the planes - or he would do it for him. The American President threatened invasion if we didn't destroy - not just end - but destroy the Arrow utterly.

My grandfather flew in the 430 squadron in WW2. I have a plethora of his artifacts, medals and photos. I’d be happy to share them with the author if interested

The US suffered from arrow envy.

This is really cool. Thank you

Fantastic! Thank you for this video.. I am trying to gather as much info as I can, so I can build a 1/48 RCAF Post War Lanc. Among other Lancasters.

My grandfather Juhlke was supposed to be on this flight but he got sick and lost his best friend Darrell Patton. My grams is telling us the story so thought I'd look something up

Don Bradshaw your genius is admired!!

My grandmother was a court stenographer in the NWT in the 70s and a lot of her paperwork and tapes made it into my father's basement after she passed. After he himself passed in 2022, I was helping my mother go through all of this and I came across a thick file on 'Panarctic'. This had copies of the accident report, pilot's autopsy report, exhibit reports, and all of the death certificates (as far as I could tell). I am sure this is all part of the public record but it just didn't feel right to dispose of it so I have it. This of course led me to your video.

It’s amusing people still cry of this turd. The Phantom was superior as was the 106.

Thank you for the best ever engineering description of a Messerschmitt 109, in all its aspects, servicing design, and the clever engineering solutions that the German engineers employed especially when you compare it with allied aircraft of that timed. That i have ever heard of on You Tube or anywhere else and that includes " Greg's automobiles channel " who is highly detailed and respected, but i get lost in all the technical detail descriptions and I can't follow him easily. But your descriptions of all the technical details of the 109 have been truly much easier to follow understand and adsorb so brilliant too. I have immediately subscribed to you r channel and enjoyed every minute of your video's thank you so much once again.

I used to fly YQS. And TPA and DFC. They were great old birds.

2-stage 2-speed Merlin and Griffon Spitfires had automatic supercharger gear shift. Only thing Spit had less automation on was propeller rpm lever. Many pilots actually prefer that, as it gives you more control.

Dragon and the Rapide are one of my favourite biplanes such an elegant aircraft, although I believe they were rather noisy and draft in the passenger cabin. But then most of these aircraft were.

Comment for the algorithm

A Dutch Le-mans winner said: If you don't try to lift the weight, you will never know if you can lift it. Very brave move, well done.

That Tin Lizzie you once owned is now a fully restored and regularly flying SOE liveried aircraft at the Shuttleworth Collection museum (Old Warden, Bedfordshire). If anyone is in England I thoroughly recommend a visit to this truly fabulous musueum.

The Canadians can't understand that aircraft are like pistols that are made to fire a new bullet. In the Avro Arrow casse it was supposed to launch the new at that time genie missile. By the time the Arrow prototype rolled out for testing, actual American made aircraft flying the genie missile were arriving at squadrons. All the other facts such as the size of the business called Avro or what happened to the products doesn't matter.

I worked for AVRO. And was there when we were closed down all we got was a phone call to tell us we were all let go and that was 1,500 people March 1959 Black Friday

Actually the last 109's were the k-6, but only because of prototypes. I do have a request on a video if you'd be willing: "how to build a 109 jig"

Excellent. When are the engine trials?

A fabulous recounting of that tragedy Dr. Skjenna. I can see your intensity and emotion after all these years. From 1976-79, while working on an Adeco Heli-hoist Rig out of Rae Point, I had the privilege to fly on CF-PAK a few times until it was replaced by the PWA 737-200. Flying from YEG to CZRP over the Monument to flight 416, always brought a thoughtful silence of respect, to every northern resident and worker onboard.

Before DNA technology.

That’s a terrific video with commentary. Thank you very much. If memory serves me correctly, I recall staring at that particular aircraft while driving by in the late summer of 1967 on our way to Expo ‘67. I was 15 years old at the time and wanted to stop and look at her.but our timeline was short so…. This is 24 February ‘24….any chance of an update just to let us know how close you are to having it ready for 1 April ‘24? Thank you ALL again for your hard work. Mac

God bless the RCAF veterans who flew these mercy missions for the starving Dutch people. They had suffered through the brutal Nazi occupation for five years and had many of their young men hauled off to Germany for labor and their food supplies looted.

rebuild it, shame how many B-17 have crashed in the past few years.

😸 Thank you for the info.

I really appreciate deep dives on aircraft outside the mainstream

to. a, machine lover. this is, eye candie.

I am not sure your comment about the allies allowing Germany to keep their munitions after the first word war is correct. As I understand the treaty of Versailles stipulated destruction or handing over of all munitions, going as far as mentioning the Fokker DVII by name. The German Fleet anchored at Scapa flow was due to be handed over to the British but the Germans sunk their fleet "on mass" in one go rather than hand it over. The only aircraft that where allowed where unpowered gliders for sports and recreation,

This was a great video and i was excited to see a picture of my husbands grandfather , in the back row of the picture of the 5 men in uniform , his name is vincent luter he was a Blenheim( P4905 )navigator with 107 sq shot down over Belgium in 1940 by Oblt Gerhard Framm JG27 and shared a bunkhouse with john fancy in stalag luft 1 hes mentioned in john fancys book .

It’s a shame that these aircraft won’t fly again.

2023: I've flown on these with American Airlines when I was a kid. My father worked for American. Beautiful Aircraft. I loved them AND That Sound!. Thank You for this very detailed and personal accounting of this accident. Your personal history is most impressive and note worthy. Your empathetic comments regarding the people on board are very heart felt. And recounting your wife's return visit to the camera store. Best regards

Regarding Panarctic Electra aircraft tragedy on October 30, 1974, it was not the RCMP that first located the crash site. Instead, it was Captain Barry Morris (my father) who was roused from sleep to prepare a twin otter. Captain Morris along with Len Storvold of Panarctic Oils made the discovery shortly after takeoff on that fateful day. publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2016/bcp-pco/Z1-1975-2-eng.pdf

What's the sheet metal you use to build BF 109 chromoly 4130 Aluminum

Thanks, very thorough. My dad transferred from Bomber Command to Ferry Command in 1943, and flew the northern route once out of Dorval via Gander to the UK. Then he transferred to Nassau and flew the southern route. Less is available on the southern route.

My paternal grandfather was an instructor in the RFC during the war. He had remustered from the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. My father told me that he was chosen because he could shoot accurately from horseback. Thankfully he was a pilot instructor not a combat fighter as I might not be writing this comment today. My maternal grandfather survived the 1 July, 2016 Battle of the Somme fiasco, where there were 3/4 casualties in his battalion, amongst other engagements right to till the end of the war. Thankfully he survived too! Lord have mercy!

I don't want to be a complainer or to disrespect all the work being done but as one of the few remaining Lancasters that have actually flown combat operations, should it not be restored to look as it did on ops?

Very good presentation on a not so much forgotten but unknown subject. I’d like to see another on the RCAF involvement in the early years of NATO, the stationing of fighter squadrons in Western Germany and so forth. Thank you from the UK the Maple Leaf Forever!

Excellent and good luck. You can do it.

6 .7 MILLION $$$ spent so far Holy crows IS this intended to be airworthy If so I must ask is it worth it you could build a brand new replica from the ground up for not much . More this is a case of diminishing returns

Very pleased that it will represent the postwar configuration and paint scheme. I saw it that way when I was a kid

So good to see this aircraft being given the attention it deserves. It was such a sad sight in Edmunston where I last saw KB 882.

I visited this plane many times in Edmunston. Great video, thanks for sharing.
