BOMARC Missile, caused the Diefenbaker government to fall.
Me 163B, rocket propelled fighter - I could not find the Baron von Munchausen riding a canon ball used as an emblem by Jagdgeschwader 400, the squadron that this plane belonged to - I remember seeing one on display in Ottawa in the early 70s, either at the War Museum or the National Aviation Museum. Valerie Wood, assistant curator at the museum, tells me that the design was painted over in 2001 to restore this plane to a more historically accurate paint job.
Nose art from another Komet that was on display in Berlin.
I asked the Canada Aviation and Space Museum about it, and they said the example of the plane that was in Canada in the early 70s is now at National Museum of the U. S. Air Force.
If you are dropping secret agents into occupied territory, give them a folding bicycle to get them on their way!
Heinkel He 162, cheap jets made of plywood and metal - the position of the engine made ejecting from the cockpit very dangerous!
Nose of Avro Arrow - only partial reconstruction of plane at museum
l'Épervier, designed and built by engineering students in 2006
