"Avro Arrow replicas

A replica Arrow built by Allan Jackson was used in The Arrow, a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) production. He began building a full-scale replica of the Arrow in 1989, and was approached by the producers of the Arrow miniseries in 1996, then about 70% complete, who made an offer to complete the construction if the replica could be used for the production. It was used on the miniseries and several public appearances at air shows. The replica was later donated to the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in his home town of Wetaskiwin, Alberta. While in a temporary outdoor collection, it was damaged in a wind storm in 2009. It has since been repaired, but is no longer on public display.

The Avro Museum of Canada completed a 0.6-scale remote controlled replica aircraft built for public flight demonstration. Following eight years of research, construction started in September 2000. Built of modern-day composite materials under Canadian Recreational Aircraft legislation, construction involved five years of volunteer labour and half-million dollars in materials and parts. The scale model has been successfully flown on a number of occasions.

The Canadian Air and Space Museum, located at the former CFB Downsview, features a full-size replica Arrow built by volunteers with assistance from local aerospace firms. With a metal structure, the replica features many authentic-looking components including landing gear constructed by Messier-Dowty, the original Arrow primary landing gear sub-contractor. Painted in the colours of Arrow 25203, the Arrow replica was rolled out for a media event on 28 September 2006 and was on public display on 8?9 October 2006 to commemorate the original aircraft's rollout in 1957."
