Avro Arrow: somewhat beaten-up test model used in the development of Canada's much vaunted but secretive Avro Arrow fighter jet has been found covered in zebra mussels upside down on the bottom of Lake Ontario.

The tantalizing discovery of the model, between 30 and 60 metres underwater, is the first such find since the federal government killed the Arrow program in 1959, sparking a bitter debate about the demise of what was once considered one of the most advanced combat jets in the world. "It wasn't just about finding something lost:

For generations, the Arrow story has fascinated many of us and has become something dear to many Canadians," said John Burzynski, chief executive officer of Osisko Mining and expedition leader. "It lingers in the Canadian psyche as to what this could have been." Explorers believe the recovered Arrow free-flight model -- one of nine believed to be in the lake -- is one of the later versions.

Photographs and video indicate the nose was bent or damaged on impact, said David Shea, with Kraken Sonar. The plan is to excavate around the model and build a cradle to get it to the surface.
