CF-100 18111 was destroyed in a wind driven fire that burned down Hanger 5 at Malton Airport, Toronto, Ontario. The hangar was rented from the Department of Transport by Avro Aircraft and Orenda Engines for test development and special manufacturing work. The source of the fire was an overloaded fuse box. There were five test aircraft in the hangar; three of which were destroyed including CF-100s 18111, 18348, and Lancaster FM-209. Avro personnel were able to remove CF-100 18279 and Sabre 23024 from the hangar, but the Sabre was damaged and eventually written off.
