National Aviation Museum

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

I first visited the National Air Museum located in Rockcliffe many years ago as a teenager. I remember seeing parts of the Arrow and engines on display there. I'm sure that I probably took some photographs of them but have not located them yet.

In September of 2002, I visited the new location (for me) of the Air Museum and the display on the AVRO Arrow was my main attraction, although I did tour the rest of the museum and look at all the aircraft there.

Click on the pictures below and they will open in a new browser window. To return to this page, just close the new window down. Feel free to use the pictures for personal archives and for school/youth projects. In return please give credit to me for the photographs in your bibliography etc.

The pictures are in 800 x 600 pixels format in size and are compressed from their original size and resolution.
