jagman Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Considering that both Convair and Canadair were subsidaries of General Dynamics in the late '50's, I would like to think should the Canadian Governement propose a bomber design, that Canadair would have been in the running. These versions, which would have carried the Orenda Iroquois engines, would have rolled out of Canadair's Montreal plant. The top scheme is a B-58 in Ghost Sqn. livery, and the second one, a Trainer variant, in a highly visible scheme. My latest 'what-if's' Enjoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barneydhc82 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Nice looking What-If but if it had been fitted with the Iroquois engines it would have only needed 2 of them Barney Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Whoa, those B-58s in those schemes look neat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kitnut617 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Very nice jagman, just a comment though on the markings, timeline wise I think they would have had the Red Ensign on the tail instead of the tri-colour flash Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jagman Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 I've seen both the tri-colour flash as well as the Red Ensign on various RCAF planes (fighters and transports).. an image of the DeHavilland Comet on the CAF website shows the fin flash in lieu of the Red Ensign.

elmayerle Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Nice looking What-If but if it had been fitted with the Iroquois engines it would have only needed 2 of them Since the Aerofax book on the Hustler shows wind-tunnel models of an enlarged one powered by four J75s, imagine those replaced by Iroquois instead of just an one-for-one replacement of the J79s on the basic Hustler.
