The development of the AVRO Arrow bomber-interceptor in the 1950s is arguably one of Canada’s greatest technological achievements. Prince Edward County played a critical role in the development of this legendary aircraft—specifically in the launching of free-flight aerodynamic test models.

This presentation, part of South Shore Joint Initiative’s Flashback February, offers fascinating insights into the test program carried out by the Canadian Armament Research and Development Establishment at Point Petre.

? About the presenter:
Jeff Young is a retired mechanical engineer living in Picton and a volunteer with the County Museums. He has particular interests in transportation history, Prince Edward County history, and the construction of scale models. While building a model of one of the free-flight AVRO Arrows for the County Museums, Jeff undertook in-depth research into the Point Petre testing—research that forms the foundation of this presentation.
