    Gil,

    Is there a date on the C3a1 contract? Does it specify a delivery schedule?

    Ron,
    I have the faded fax copy of the complete contract W8466-7-EHB17/01 several pages dated the 26-11-87 this relates to a refurbishment contract of the 500 x C3A1 back to PH which were all completed and returned by the 31-12-1989.
    Hope thats helpful, but if you have even seen Military contracts you will understand, that there are hundreds of boxes on one sheet of paper, with numbers and dates which must mean something to someone, but to you and I, basically pointless.
    Not sure how these extra long pages will copy but here goes 3 at least to give you a flavour of the quality
