I thought the M151A2 was still in service into 1987 in the Tow missile role with the Cdn airborne, waiting for an Iltis platform. Did there end up being an Iltis Tow launcher?

Re the best before date of the Iltis, I was in Cypress in 89, and the Iltis was pulled from service then and replaced with the Pajero. It was already passing it's best before date, or so the LCMMs thought.
