Gordon,

Was the Canadair Argus an American aircraft?

Oops.

No Tex, it was Brit. (and I caught the little jab! Ü) Actually it
was a Bristol Britannia originally, they gave Canadair in
Montreal the license to build on the original plans and modify
them a bunch...musta been a humongous project...good article with
what was involved at:
http://www.geocities.com/cp107argus/CP107History.html

This is a good site for info on this (in it's time) the best ASW
aircraft in the world.
