Well even with the American's as our closest ally and partner we were to an extent a nuclear power. We had air to air, surface to surface, tactical aircraft fitted nuclear bombs and nuclear antisubmarine depth charges.
And Avro would probably have still been around, but I don't know if we would have been able to export enough to continue military development of airplanes.
And while the Arrow was an exceptional plane, I tend to think that as it grows older in our minds its capabilities tend to get exagerated.
