Id love to know if theres anything over in the Canadian archives possibly relating to this??? anyone had a looksee? one that id love to see laid to rest once and for all!
Another aspect relating to the TSR.2 project id love to try and clear up is the RAF.'s looking at the 'Avro CF.105 Arrow' for 'Specification OR.339', unless this was an unsolicited proposal by Avro Canada, again unfortunately nothing appears in the official files (Avro, and indeed each of the Hawker Siddely companies, having their own projeced designs to the specification!) possibly something tangiable (ie. official) might appear from a Canadian source
One thing i can confirm tho is there is a lot of material in the archives relating to the 'Avro CF.105 Arrow' as a replacement for the deemed useless 'Gloster Thin Wing Javelin' as a long range suppliment to the 'EE.P.1B' (later 'Lightning') until the requirement was rewritten negating the need for the Arrow (the imfamous defence white paper)
