I am reall surprised at that too as rhat sort of mileage  would be done  pretty quickly too.

The Arrowhead book says 600 miles radius ----- on internal fuel. Still short-legged though, if it was based in Calgary and took off there and went north and went to it's maximum radius and then turned around to return to Calgary, it wouldn't have left the province ----
Subsonic only, supersonic combat radius for Arrow 2 was 264 mi. The numbers are in the
Arrowheads book.

To put that into perspective, the Lightning's combat range was 135 nmi

Just around the block in UK terms.  ;D ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
