About

Welcome to Polyus Studios; Home of Canadian Aviation History I grew up watching Wings and Great Planes on TV, but I was always disappointed that they only covered American aircraft. The exceptions being the short Wings Of The Red Star series which only covered Russian planes and the odd British documentary about the Vulcan or Lightning. I wanted to watch a show about the Canadian planes I saw in the museums and on pedestals around our country. I couldn't find anything, so I decided to make them myself. So in the spirit of Wings and Great Planes, I present to you my Icons of Canadian Aerospace series.

Canadair adapted the Bristol Britannia into a highly effective low and slow sub hunter. This gave Maritime Air Command the edge in the North Atlantic. It served on the front-line of the Cold War and kept the Soviet submarine threat in check for almost 25 years. 0:00 Introduction 0:28 Canada’s ASW role 2:41 Selection of the Bristol Britannia 4:43 Canadair’s modifications 8:11 Sensors and weapons 14:29 Deployment history 17:59 Mission 20:45 Operational History 22:55 Accidents and Close Calls 24:33 Replaced by the Aurora 26:40 Conclusion Music: Denmark - Portland Cello Project Research Sources: Footage Sources: #Argus #CanadianAerospace #PolyusStudios
