Ordered first as a Mk. 2, converted to prototype Mk. 4 before first flight on 11 October 1952. Aircraft had been scheduled for conversion to prototype Mk. 2P photo reconnaisance version, but this project was cancelled. Coded "FB*S" for company trials. Used by Avro Canada for development trials from Malton, Ontario. Taken to Mach 1.06 by Jan Zurakowski on 4 December 1952. Used for first belly pack rocket firings on test stand, from January 1954. First aerial firing on 11 February 1954. Struck in nose by rocket during these firing tests, landed safely. Crashed on 23 August 1954 near Ajax, Ontario, following in flight explosion probably resulting from fuel leaks produced by heavy buffetting when modified rocket pallet was lowered. Zurakowski ejected successfully at 2,000 feet and 250 - 300 knots, test engineer John Hiebert went down with aircraft. He probably attempted to eject, but rear seats usually fouled on canopy in early CF-100s, or wind blast after canopy did jettison prevented rear seat occupant from reaching ejection handle. 0000-01-01
