RE: RE: Legion MagazineIn case anyone wanted to know, the 1st delivery of LAV III's to the Canadian government is expected/anticipated to occure in early 2013 (see below). According to Red (Baron) via David Fowler, it looks like the CDN LAV III contract was another missed opportunity for Cymat............... In response to your e-mail dated 24 October 2011, it is estimated that the completion and delivery of the 1st upgraded vehicle under the LAV III Upgrade contract will occur in early 2013.I appreciate the opportuntiy to respond to you on this matter.
