State-of-the-Art ASW Platform ... Canadair Argus!
Click the thumbnail for larger, albeit low res, image.
This is what the first Argus looked like for her initial flight in 1957 from Cartierville airport, Quebec. The aircraft sported VN unit code and the shorted-lived non-standard fuselage flash and fin flash. Looked good ... kinda like a shiny new nickel. Not done yet though so stay tuned.....yes...things are missing from this drawing....
