RL-203 Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow Mk 1 25203 CYRO

A wingtip from RL-203 - the second last Arrow to fly before the program was scrapped the following day on "Black Friday" - February 20, 1959. Over 14,000 workers lost their job as a result of the highly controversial decision by the newly elected government to scrap the Arrow program. Many of them went on to brilliant careers in the the US defense industry and NASA.
