    The Comox Air Force Museum’s Guide to the Aircraft of the Heritage Air Park By Dan Brennan *All photographs found in this guide are subject to copyright and cannot be reused without the express written permission of the owner. Canadair CL-28 Argus Mark I Argus 10719 of 415 Squadron on maritime patrol. From Greek mythology, the “Argus” was an all-seeing creature with 100 eyes. This name was appropriate due to the numerous highly sophisticated sensing devices carried on board, with antennas everywhere. Note the large nose radome of the Mark I. Protruding from the tail is the MAD Boom, a Magnetic Anomaly Detector which detects the magnetic field surrounding a steel submarine. The Canadian-built, Canadair Argus was a unique hybrid that employed the wings, tail surfaces and undercarriage of the British designed Bristol Britannia transport aircraft, married to a completely new unpressurized fuselage of Canadian design and equipped with different American-designed engines. One of the most effective anti-submarine warfare aircraft of its day, the Argus was a mainstay for the RCAF in the maritime role. The principal difference between the Mark I and Mark II was primarily in the different navigation, communication and tactical electronic equipment fitted internally. Externally, the Mark II exhibited a redesigned smaller nose radome and additional ECM antennae above the fuselage. The Argus replaced the Lancaster and Neptune aircraft types and eventually, the Argus was itself to be replaced by the current Lockheed CP-140 Aurora aircraft. The Argus flew with the Maritime Proving & Evaluation Unit and the following Squadrons: 404, 405, 407, 415, and 449.

These talks will cover topics ranging from the history of the com - pany; the history of the aircraft type; and its development; production methods and places; the history of the engine and its development. Also covered will be the challenges in maintaining and flying these classic aircraft in today’s environment; how the mechanics find the parts and how the pilots keep current on flying a 70 year old flying machine designed before the dawn of the jet age. This will be followed by details of how the aircraft is prepared for flight; how the en - gine is started; followed by an engine start and flight. During the proceedings, a draw will be conducted entitling the lucky winner to a flight in the aircraft being discussed (some conditions apply).

  • Remembering the Avro Arrow Overview
    FlyingFlying IntoInto HistoryHistory Remembering the Avro Arrow Overview The Avro CF-105 Arrow“ ” was a delta-wing jet interceptor aircraft, designed and built by A.V. Roe Canada Limited in Malton as the culmination of a design study that began in 1953. Go-ahead on the production of the CF-105 was given in 1955, and the AVRO Arrow was rolled out for the public on October 4, 1957. The first test flight took place on March 25, 1958. TheArrow and the accompanying Orenda Iroquois jet engine program were abruptly cancelled by the Federal Government on February 20, 1959 (“Black Friday”), sparking a long and bitter social and political debate. At the time of its cancellation the Arrow was considered to be one of the most advanced aircrafts in the world. It was built, flown, and destroyed within the City of Mississauga.

The RCAF contracted A.V. Roe Canada (AVRO Canada), which was based in Malton, Ontario. Avro had already produced the CF-100 “Canuck”, Canada’s first all-weather jet interceptor. In 1953, research and design for the CF-105 supersonic, all-weather jet interceptor began, with formal production and testing starting in 1954.
