You can read more about it here:

Thanks for the date information Mike.

Why do we say things like "the Arrow was the greatest fighter ever built"? The Poms still rave about the TSR-2 like that. Frankly both machines never made it for whatever reasons. Greatness comes from deeds.....

I think of the so-called cancelled or limited editions as interesting technology testers. Hard to see the Arrow eclipsing aircraft as a fighter in "greatness terms" like the F-86,F-4,F-18.F-16 etc etc. Even the Tornado went to war...

Like the saying goes, "Only the good die young"


Some of us live long enough for our flaws to shine :wink:
