Simple question I don't think I've seen the answer to: how many Arrows did Canada intend to buy? How big was the program?
I ran across this
"The Air Council would propose re-equipping half of the RAF’s allweather fighter force, quoted as 288 aircraft, with the CF-105 instead of the inferior thin-winged Javelin."
I think that means the RAF had an interest in purchasing 144 (not 288) aircraft. But nothing so far about how many were in the program for Canada. I've managed to track down numbers for some other programs like the F-108 (400), F-12B (93), and B-70 (250), but the number for the CF-105 program has eluded me so far.
