Arrow Free Flight Test Model Recovery

--------

There are several ongoing projects to recover free flight models of the Avro Arrow from the bottom of Lake Ontario. There are conflicting groups, personalities, and priorities, all aiming to recover at least one of the 225 kg precision free flight models of the Arrow built during the Arrow's development period.

--------

The leaders in the Arrow model recovery are Arrow Recovery Canada, who in addition to putting together the most organised assault on the models, have a very nice web page to boot.
