POSSIBLE CONTRACTS FOR MAINTENANCE OF CF-100'S IN BELGIUM | |
|
Following is the text of a letter from Mr. Howe: My dear Colleague: Avro Aircraft Limited are currently negotiating with the Belgian Government for the sale of a quantity of CF.100 aircraft. I would appreciate it if you would instruct our Ambassador in Belgium to communicate with the Belgian Government and to inform that Government that, in the event an agreement is concluded for the sale of the aircraft, the Canadian Government, since it feels that only one CF.100 repair and overhaul facility would be necessary in Europe, would be prepared to consider entering into an agreement with a suitable firm in Belgium to handle overhaul and repair of CF.100's being operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force in continental Europe. If appropriate arrangements for repair and overhaul work in Belgium could be made, I would expect that some jigs, tools and fixtures could be made available by the Canadian Government for the use by the selected Belgian firm on repair and overhaul for Belgian account. I would also anticipate that plans and technical information respecting the CF.100 aircraft which are owned by the Canadian Government could be made available to the selected Belgian firm. 2. I should be grateful if you would transmit Mr. Howe's message
to the Belgian Government.
