This exhibition
cronicles the saga of Canada's aviation marvel the Avro Arrow from its
genesis to cancellation. The jet was viewed as Canada's best chance
to be at the forefront of the international aerospace industry during
the 1950's. An important aspect of this exhibition is the stories from
the factory workers of Malton, Ontario where the jet was manufactured
and eventually scrapped. Their personal connection resonates through
the exhibition and adds a sense of humanity of a project that was seen
as something political driven and cancelled.
