Hey Katzman: It looks like the Avro Arrow. I heard that a bunch of volunteers were putting one together in Ontario somewhere. Apparently it will be just a static model however. Maybe I'm wrong on this one but the last time I was wrong I ended up on a pole with spikes in my hands. Have a good one.

[align=left]The Avro CF-105 Arrow first flew on March 25, 1958, following several years in development. The Arrow program was unique in that the prototype was built using the same tools and rigs that were to be used on production Aircraft, eliminating the expensive practice of building flight test prototypes by hand. In addition, it meant that the production run could be started immediately following flight test acceptance of the design. Seen here is the initial prototype, RL 201, on final approach to Malton, Ontario after its first flight.

During the test flights, the Arrow had flown at mach 1.96 and up to 50,000 feet, results that are still impressive by today's standard of fighter Aircraft design.[/align]
