AVRO Arrow Replica (RL-203)

The Canadian Air & Space Museum (formerly The Toronto Aerospace Museum, 65 Carl Hall Rd., Toronto)) commenced building a full size museum quality replica of the AVRO Arrow (CF-105) in 1998. I started working on the replica during the summer of 2000. In October 2006, the replica of Arrow #25203 was rolled out in time for the 49th anniversary of the rollout of the original.

The museum was where Canada's first satellite (Allouette 1) was assembled. I spent a couple of years making a replica of that. The museum building was also the birthplace of the Chipmunk, Beaver, Otter, and other aircraft ... and what became SPAR Aerospace.

On September 20, 2011, after the order to vacate the premises by Downsview Park, the museum's collection was transferred to forty-four, 40-foot freight containers and stored in a parking lot on the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) property in Toronto. The collection was then unloaded into warehouse space provided by GTAA, until 2018.

In November 2018 it was announced that the museum's collection would be relocated to Edenvale Airport, 100 km northwest of Toronto in Stayner, Ontario. It will reopen at some point and be renamed the Canadian Air and Space Conservancy. By mid-December 2018 the museum's Avro Arrow replica had been relocated from outdoor storage where it had begun to deteriorate, to an Edenvale hangar.
