Ken, Trying to date an Aero B-3

Just wondering how old one of your B3 repos might be. Roughly when did you stop using the 40-172 contract labels ?

Thought I would stick this out in the open so we could all learn. I know it isn't one of the current series.

I can't ever remenber when we started using that label, we made a few shedepskins around 1984-85 but proper sheep production was started by one of the young kids around 1991
Her US jackets were very good as I recall, I believe the current labels were introduced in 2012 when I came back to Aero

Thanks Ken, I figured it was about 5 years plus. I have a quite old D1 with a B6 label mistakenly sewn in !
After swearing off buying another B3 here I am with one on the way to me, be nice to compare it with how I remember my Eastman ones.
