the British were not willing to release the new engines to a foreign company for a civilian airliner after the embarrassment of the Rolls-Royce Nene engine being sold to the USSR. Consequently, the decision was made to replace the two engines with four less powerful engines
According to [[1]] the Avons were not used because Rolls-Royce anticipated a delay in getting the engine certified for civilian use, and they might therefore, not be available in time. Also, I can't see how Avro Canada would at that time be regarded by the British as a 'foreign company' Ian Dunster 09:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
