Hello.
I have a Watts propeller from a Mark1 Swedish J8 Gladiator. I am interested in selling it if there is any interest.
Thanks,
Kevin.

Fantastic work, congratulations :eagerness:
Do you have any more info on the film? At a guess, is it about 263 Sqn operations in Norway?

That is remarkable work. Keep us updated!

Today the Arrow replica sits in a warehouse in the grounds of the Reynolds-Alberta Museum near a hanger that houses Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame and one of Canada’s largest collections of historic aircraft. The museum and the hall are adjacent to the tarmac of the airport at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, a small town about 40 miles south of the provincial capital of Edmonton.

The replica was largely built by Mr. Allan Jackson, a Wetaskiwin man whose hopes of working in aviation were dashed when the Arrow was cancelled in 1959. He got work with a steel grating manufacturer in Wetaskiwin, and in 1989, he decided to start building a full-scale replica of at least part of the Arrow. He started with the nose section, and then decided to press on and build the entire aircraft.

In 1996, when the Arrow miniseries was in production, the producers found out about Jackson, and they offered to complete the job if they let him have his replica, which by then was about 70 per cent complete.

When Jackson got his replica back after the filming, he found out to his dismay that history had repeated itself. The replica had been used not only to depict happy days such as the rollout of the Arrow in 1957, but also its destruction after “Black Friday” in 1959. Like the Arrow itself, the replica had been dismantled with torches.

Jackson spent months putting his replica back together, and then he was approached by the Abbotsford Airshow, the event that takes place in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley each August. His replica became one of the star attractions of the 1997 Airshow, and it was there I first saw the replica.

After some workand help from UK , I got this finished , It will be used in a drama document film on Norwegian television .The rest of aircraft will be modelled in computer.

Lovely work!

Just make sure everything is above board, I still remember the Canadian Arrow replica fiasco.

VERY nice, well done

Seriously impressive work! The floor and control column area, plus the instrument panel look great 🙂
