Default Numbers

That number is just outside the allocation of (3000) F15s delivered to Egypt under S/M 2002, some of which ended up with the AIF. It appears that it must have been a S/M 2030 truck, with a Mid-East allocation number.

@ David; I am confused now about the mentioning of F15 trucks. They were F8...

Default Clarification

1. Demand S/M 2002 was for 3,000 F15s delivered direct to Egypt and 500 to Mombasa. Z 4520080 was issued to the AIF, and so it is assumed that the series ran Z 4520001 and up, to q maximum of 4523000.

2. There are no known (yet) Demands for Mid-East direct F8 trucks of the period, but the assumption is that these were to S/M 2030, as S/M 2029 included C8 trucks delivered, as with 2030, to England and also direct to Egypt. The number must have been in a batch after the F15 Mid-East Theatre allocation.
