CANADAIR CL44 & YUKON  
  

The Canadair company in Montreal, Canada acquired the rights to
licence produce the Bristol Britannia. The first use for this was a
piston-engine powered variant for maritime reconnaissance, the 
CL-28 Argus.

The company next produced a transport very similar to the Bristol
aircraft known by the RCAF as the CC-106 Yukon. Only 12 examples   
were produced, the first example flying in 1959. A large order for the 
USAF was cancelled due to political complications on both sides of
the border.

A civil freighter variant was produced with a unique folding tail for
freight loading, known as the CL44. This used the windscreens from 
the Convair CV880 as the original Britannia windscreens would not
meet the latest safety standards. 27 were built and these were used
successfully by numerous smaller freight airlines around the world.
One example was converted into "guppy" configuration with an
enlarged fuselage.
