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.

When I read that post I thought "I must answer that but then I
thought "well, they likely 'did' have spinners to help smooth the
airflow as it left the props going backwards...". This 'would'
reduce turbulence (and drag) wouldn't it?...

I don't know. I ended up including it just for that reason. I'm surprised I
came up with that many examples in only one book.
