Uhm - the Jetliner ended up getting chopped as well. After about 4
years of some of the oddest restrictions on flying it.


The Jetliner made it's last flight on November 23, 1956, more than seven
years after it's first.


I believe if you look at page 62 of Aeroplane Monthly for February 2004:
"The Jetliner returned to Malton in September 1952. Authorised to be flown
only as an observation and photographic platform for the CF-100 flight
tests, it flew for the last time on November 23, 1956."
Just over four years "of some of the oddest restrictions on flying it".


But its first flight was in 1949 is the point.
