Can't see it being another year.
We were instructed this week to send all our jigs and machining fixtures back to (someone somewhere), for destruction.
So we will not be making any more parts for the old versions.
All our other fixtures etc for the new version went back several weeks ago.

I think at a push they may give them 6 months staid of execution, but after that may be pushing (down the runway literally) them.
