The creation of the Argus plane was not unanimous because of its unfamiliar construction. Difficulties encompassed using North American personnel to employ British methods of fabrication to modify the Britannia aircraft for its new mission. These challenges were mitigated with the support of the Bristol Aeroplane Company Limited. Le choix de l’ARC ne fait pas l’unanimité. Il est en effet difficile de fabriquer un aéronef britannique en utilisant des méthodes et du personnel nord-américains. Pis encore, Canadair doit transformer la structure même du Bri-tannia pour l’adapter à sa nouvelle mission. Cela dit, Bristol Aeroplane Com-pany Limited l’appuie dans ce travail. - Area Notes
