The last artifact of the sole Avro Jetliner. The purpose designed airliner's first flight was just 13 days after the DeHavilland Comet on August 10, 1949. Development of the aircraft was ordered stopped by the government in December 1951 in order to concentrate on the company's CF-100 all weather fighter. Used by Avro assisting other aircraft development until 1956, it was donated to the National Research Council. With no room to store the aircraft, it was scrapped but the forward fuselage was saved.
