The models were destroyed by field mice. Something about that makes the story sound even more Canadian. It reminds me of the film Never Cry Wolf when the arctic researcher's hut gets invaded by mice.

The SHARP aircraft that was at the Canadian Air and Space Museum in Toronto, was moved to Edenvale Ontario a couple of years ago. It's exact location and condition are unknown. Hopefully it can be displayed again in the future. When it it was at the Museum, it was always a key attraction and raised many interesting questions. It was the two stroke gas version propeller driven that we had there....

A big congratulations to the Communications Research Centre Canada and the University of Toronto researchers and engineers for such a fascinating and forward-looking project which was well ahead of its time. This concept is now referred to as High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS). We may well be seeing HAPS systems operational later this decade with uses cases including suburban and urban areas as well.

After all money counts. After that rant I do love your channel and the information that you present. I learned quite a bit about our past aerospace and aeronautical inventions and contributions.
