One of my favorite places to visit when I am in Ottawa is the National Aviation Museum. The Museum has several components of the Avro Arrow, including a pair of recently discovered wings, on display. All pictures, other than the one of the Arrow being prepped for flight, were taken by me with an Epson PhotoPC 500 Digital Camera in September 1997.
Please feel free to use these if you like, all I ask is that you provide a link to my page. To see a larger image click on the image.

This is the back of the nose section. You can see the burn marks from the torches that were used to cut the aircraft to pieces. |

This is one of the Arrows Iroquois engines. |  |
One of the main landing gear and the Iroquois engine. |

These are a pair of wings for a Mark II. They had been stored at a National Research Council warehouse in Ottawa. |  |
You may have to look hard on the enlarged picture to see it but there are tags that identify the components as those for an Arrow Mark II. |

This is a 1/8 scale model used for subsonic and supersonic engine air intake studies on the Avro Arrow. |  |
This is a model that was used for wing airflow testing. For comparison purposes only one wing was notched. |
 |
Stored between the wings of the Arrow are several other flight control surfaces. |  |
The infamous Bomarc missile and the wing sections from an Arrow. |
I have a few more images from the National Aviation Museum in Ottawa that I will add once I can clean them up.
