A collection of the Air Force-related material I have collected over the years. This serves both as an ever-growing collection of information as well as historical documentation.
Fleets of the RCAF
Infographic for the future CF-35A
Canadian Government Infographic for the future CC-330 Husky
An Airbus infographic for the future CC-330 Husky
Infographic for the future CP-8A Poseidon
Timeline graphic for the CC-295 Kingfisher
Primer sheet from the folks at CASPIR for the CC-295 Kingfisher
Infographic for the CH-147F Chinook
Canadian Government infographic for the CC-177 Globemaster III
An older Canadian Government infographic for the CH-146 Griffon. Sadly they don't make these often.
Past Graphics/Proposals
Early rendition of the future CF-104 Starfighter. Don't have an exact date for this one.
Also one for the CC-106 Yukon
And the CC-109 Cosmopolitan. Again I can't remember the exact date for these ones.
Infographic showcasing the CT-133 Silver Star in several distinct historical Canadian military paint schemes, including the vibrant Red Knight display, the Golden Hawks, and a Royal Canadian Navy target tug. Originally published by the International Plastic Modellers' Society (IPMS) of Canada.
Three-view schematic of a Sikorsky Sea King helicopter, detailing precise dimensional measurements across front, top, and side profiles. Finding Sea King stuff can be surprisingly difficult.
A very cool Avro Arrow diagram provided by the Canadian Aviation Historical Society
Some Avro Arrow sketches from I believe 1958?
Diagram of the CP-107 Argus, circa I believe 1961?
I have lots of Arrow stuff
Conceptual sketches of a Zero-Length Launch variant of the Avro Arrow from October of 1958. Sadly not much info is available, amd the concept did not go far before the Arrow was fully cancelled.
Maps
Detailed infomap of the Royal Canadian Air Force. It's a bit outdated but still a great representation
Map showcasing Canada’s three primary radar systems of the early Cold War (DEW, Mid-Canada, Pinetree) as well as the respective range of the Avro Arrow
Another NORAD map, from thr late 50s/early 60s. Sadly do not have a proper date attached to it.
Map of the Pinetree Line stations
Other
Orenda Engines advertisement featuring the TR5 Orenda engine. A sadder loss than the Arrow for myself.
An old Avro Canada advertisement. Don't know the exact year
Another advertisement showcasing the Orenda engine, certainly one of Canada’s technical achievements that is often forgotten amongst the popularity of the Arrow
A third Avro advertisement, this time focused of the CF-100 Canuck, Canada’s often forgotten first fighter jet.
There was a vast trove of Avro Arrow and Orenda Iroquois project documents available on the NRC archive website. I accessed (and fortunately downloaded) dozens of them while researching and writing an article on the Six Myths of the Avro Arrow. Sadly, all that material disappeared from the Internet last month, perhaps some deluded cost saving measure.
