A web-log featuring Aviation Art of Rob Arsenault to remember the classic Canadair CP-107 Argus Maritime Patrol/Anti-Submarine Warfare aircraft used by the RCAF and later, the CAF from 1957 to 1981. MightyArgus@gmail.com

RCAF Variant - VP415's first Argus - 20720
This is a pre-production sample of the first Argus delivered to 415 Squadron as photographed by Tom Gosling. Note the non-standard Maritime Air Command placement just below the cheat line (no, it's actually not a mistake). This example is early 1960's and is sporting the GP-12-b (Blue) Grey 1-2. Also need to find/make a correct Swordfish too. All in due course. This thing takes 30 seconds to open and save on my dual-core PC with 3Gb of RAM!
