Avro AvroCar

Afraid there isn't one coming to Toronto, we tried to get it, but someone
inside the Museum screwed it up and we lost it to Dayton. The one sitting
there, I thought, had been used as a reception desk at Air Command in
Winnipeg, but the picture says otherwise. It was used in a film/tv
docu-drama called 'AvroCar' narrated by Levar Burton (Star Trek fame). The
show is still out there (on DVD) and is pretty well done. I'm hoping that we
might replicate one ourselves here one day.

Nice replica. There's only 2 prototypes and they're both in the US. One
in Dayton at the USAF Museum, the other as a gate guard in Maryland.

OK! Here is the scoop. I was out and about this afternoon and dropped in
on the WCAM book store/gift shop and asked them about the Avrocar.
Apparently, Bill is right. It IS a replica!!! A darn good one I must say.
It was created for the filming of a documentary. There were two real ones
made and both of them are in the US. For now. One of them MAY get returned
to Canada and end up in a museum in Toronto. No word yet if/when this
might happen.
