And talking of ladies and aeroplanes (as I was) it just so happenned that yesterday I was watching an old CBC documentry on the sadly cancelled Avro Arrow and was surprised to hear the commrntator, whilst a picture of Canada's first jet airliner was being shown, say that it ended its days as Hugh Hefner's private toy.I could find no evidence of this and think that the chap got his knickers in a slight twist as it was apparently borrowed for a while by Howard Hughes.
an understandable confusion between "Hugh" and "Hughes" perhaps!!
I also found out that it was almost the very first jet powered airliner to fly (a last minute delay over a small technical hitch let the British Comet take that prize).Oh Canada !!
