After some research, it turned out to be a Delta Test Vehicle, a precursor to the known Arrow test models. It confirmed that the models were actually down there. Binnie, who helped the team on conservation issues, said getting the DTV out of the water posed a lot of challenges, mostly coming from how little was known about the object. Removing a decades-old historical artifact from its sunken resting place could possibly break it into pieces.
The DTV was covered in layers and layers of quagga mussels, which had used threads of protein to stick to the surface of the test vehicle. Prying them off, Binnie said, could risk destroying the paint and losing key information about the model. It was really considered important. The team had set out to find one of the final five test models, which were almost identical replicas of the completed Avro Arrows. Three years after they found the DTV, in mid-September , they finally made headway.
The only problem was that it was in pieces. He says the team is still trying to determine how to remove the piece, and are planning on reviewing their existing sonar images nearby. But for now, the four-year search for the Avro Arrow test models is coming to a close.
