Easy ! Buy Avro Canada CF-100s, first. No Javelin. And a very sane aircraft, far better than early F-89s who did their best to try and match the coming F-104 love for crashes.Then remember Tony Buttler book - the CF-105 Arrow was considered as an interim type pending F155T, replacing... the Thin Wing Javelin, in the same role.Canada rules the skies !Second best alternative: the DH-110 Vixen. Another major screw up, not the aircraft itself (despite the horror of 1952) but the never-ending delays by the RN, DH-116 included. Could have been in service by 1954, languished until 1959, way too late.
