===Replicas=== A replica Arrow built by Allan Jackson was used in ''[[The Arrow (miniseries)|The Arrow]]'', a [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] (CBC) production. He began building a full-scale replica of the Arrow in 1989, and was approached by the producers of the Arrow miniseries in 1996, then about 70% complete, who made an offer to complete the construction if the replica could be used for the production. It was used on the [[miniseries]] and several public appearances at air shows. The replica was later donated to the [[Reynolds-Alberta Museum]] in his home town of [[Wetaskiwin]], [[Alberta]]. While in a temporary outdoor collection, it was damaged in a wind storm in 2009. It has since been repaired, but is no longer on public display.<ref>Gainor, Chris.

Construction began in October 2007, and by 2012 the fuselage was completed and passed its first MDRA inspection, and now has a serial number. Powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney JT-15D-4s, the ARROW II is to have a top speed of approximately 500 knots and a range of 1,800 miles. Current projections show a final cost of the project at approximately one million dollars and it was hoped that ground tests would start in about 2016 with the first flight to follow.<ref>[http://142.179.170.230/avro/ "Arrow II Project"] ({{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110226131743/http://142.179.170.230/avro/|date=26 February 2011 }}).

With a metal structure, the replica features many authentic-looking components including landing gear constructed by [[Messier-Dowty]], the original Arrow primary landing gear sub-contractor. Painted by [[Bombardier Inc.]] at their Downview plant in the colours of Arrow 25203, the Arrow replica was rolled out for a media event on 28 September 2006 and was on public display on 8β9 October 2006 to commemorate the 49th anniversary of the original aircraft's rollout in 1957.<ref>[http://casmuseum.org/collection.shtml "Our Collection and Displays"] ({{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100901004231/http://www.casmuseum.org/collection.shtml |date=1 September 2010 }}).

This replica was in storage at [[Toronto Pearson International Airport|Toronto Pearson Intl Airport]] (CYYZ) after being displayed at the Toronto International Centre (across the road from where the actual aircraft were built) for a technology trade show that ran from 30 September to 4 October 2013. In late 2019, Milan Kroupa brought the replica to [[Edenvale Airport]] (CNV8), south of Georgian Bay in Southern Ontario. It is currently on display in a hangar, with weekly showings to the public.
