Avro Arrow test pilot

[Jon Skagfeld]

Although not entirely within the purview of this part of the Forum...here goes:

A GlobalNews item on tonights edition reports that Jan Zurakowski, primary test pilot for the Avro Arrow trials, died today in Barry's Bay, Ontario.

He retired to Barry's bay, opening and operating a tourist camp. A Spitfire pilot during the Battle of Britain, after the cancellation of the Arrow program, he never flew again.

Per Ardua Ad Astra.
