Mission Statement
We are dedicated to preserving and presenting the accomplishments of A.V. Roe Canada as a world leader in the early age of jet aircraft. Our research has allowed us to piece together the stories of Avro's accomplishments, and the men and women who made them possible.
About This Cause
Mr. Doug Hyslip was the driving force behind the Avro Museum for more than 20 years. He wanted to capture this part of Canadian Aviation history for future generations to be able to explore and enjoy. He created and flew a radio controlled model of the Avro Arrow that was used in the CBC television mini-series, “The Arrow” in 1996, and continued over the next twenty plus years to amass more than 15,000 pages of original Avro Canada documentation along with much archival material relating to the Avro Canada history. The documents contained in the Avro Museum archives constitute one of the largest and most complete references for A. V. Roe Canada Ltd anywhere in Canada. The current major activity is the construction of a 60% piloted flying replica of the Avro Arrow, the Arrow II in our facilities at Springbank Airport, now just over 50% complete but with about 5 years of work still ahead. The long term objective is to be able to make all the materials held in the Avro Museum archives available to the public both local and on-line access through digitization. The main objective of building the flyable replica Avro Arrow, the “Arrow II”, is to use national and international airshow venues to help educate people about the extraordinary achievements of the men and women of Avro Canada, so far ahead of any equivalent development in the 1950's. The magnitude of the technical and development achievements of A.V. Roe Canada Ltd. have been unequalled to this day. It is the mandate of the Avro Museum to preserve and explain this history without the embellishments of political rhetoric or historical mythology.
