1978, a production hall in Kassel, West Germany. In the shadow of the factory that built Tiger tanks 30 years before, a steel hull is wheeled onto the floor, four large commercial truck wheels, a boxy angular body with flat vertical sides, a flat roof, and a rear door that opens like a delivery van.
No sloped armor, no dramatic silhouette, no visual menace of any kind. From a distance, it looks like an oversized bread van that someone has welded steel plates onto. The engineers inside call it the Condor. Nobody outside of the building is paying attention. The West German army has not ordered it.
No NATO ally has expressed interest. There is no government contract, no military requirement, no general waiting by a telephone. The Condor is a private venture, funded entirely by its manufacturer, designed from the first day of development for export, and at this moment in 1978, it has no customers at all. And yet, this machine will go on to serve on four continents.
It will be purchased by nations as different as Malaysia, Uruguay, Turkey, Portugal, Argentina, Kuwait, and Thailand. It will accumulate nearly half a century of continuous operational service. It will be present at one of the most desperate rescue operations in modern military history, the one that became a Hollywood film, and it will receive almost none of the credit.
Over 400 of them are still in active service today. Its designation was the Thyssen-Henschel Condor. It is the most successful armored personnel carrier the world has never heard of. To understand why the Condor existed, you need to understand the problem the export arms market presented in the late 1970s.
West Germany’s own military was building the most capable armored force in Western Europe. The Marder 1 infantry fighting vehicle had entered service in 1971. The 6×6 Transportpanzer 1 wheeled carrier followed in 1979. Both were expensive, sophisticated, and designed for a single purpose, stopping a Soviet armored thrust through the Fulda Gap.
Neither was remotely suited to the needs of smaller nations. Dozens of countries needed something completely different, not a vehicle for fighting Soviet tank divisions, a vehicle for moving soldiers through jungles, across monsoon mud, along coastal roads, and into United Nations peacekeeping zones.
A vehicle whose mechanics could fix it with parts from the nearest commercial truck depot, a vehicle light enough to load aboard a transport aircraft. Thyssen Henschel, the armored vehicle division of the old Henschel industrial dynasty, whose castle works had been building engines and armored fighting vehicle since before the first World War, had already tried to fill this gap with an earlier design.
The UR-416 was an armored body bolted onto a Mercedes-Benz Unimog 4×4 truck chassis. Introduced in 1969, it had sold modestly to police forces and smaller militaries through the 1970s. By 1978, it was running out of road. Its engine produced only 120 horsepower. It carried fewer than 10 soldiers.
It could not cross water under its own power. The hull was too small for modern squad sizes. The Condor was the answer. The central design decision was the same as the UR-416, and it remained the right one. Keep the Unimog chassis. The Mercedes-Benz Unimog 4×4 was one of the most mechanically dependable light truck platforms on Earth.
Daimler Benz maintained approximately 4,700 service stations across 170 countries. An army operating a Condor in the jungles of Southeast Asia or the deserts of the Middle East could source a replacement engine, axle, or gearbox through the nearest commercial Mercedes-Benz dealer. No other armored personnel carrier on the market offered that.
It was the single most important design choice in the vehicle’s entire history, and it explains almost everything that followed. Around the commercial chassis, Henschel built a new and substantially larger all-welded steel hull. It was designed to stop 7.62 mm armor-piercing rounds, 5.56 mm ball ammunition, fragmentation, and anti-personnel mines, not heavy infantry fighting vehicle protection.
Adequate protection against the small arms threats that account for the overwhelming majority of casualties in counter-insurgency operations and peacekeeping environments. The engine was a Daimler-Benz OM 352A, a six-cylinder supercharged water-cooled diesel producing 168 horsepower at 2,800 revolutions per minute.
That gave a combat loaded Condor weighing 12.4 tons a road speed of 100 km/h and a range of 900 km on 280 L of standard commercial diesel. Portal axles and coil spring suspension gave high ground clearance for rough terrain. A stern propeller made the vehicle fully amphibious at 10 km/h with a folding trim vane at the front.
The entire assembly was short enough and light enough to be loaded aboard a C-130 Hercules or C-160 Transall transport aircraft. Two crew sat forward, 12 fully equipped soldiers sat in the rear. Armament options range from a pintle mounted 7.62 mm machine gun up to a powered one-man turret mounting a 20-mm auto cannon with a coaxial machine gun.
Anti-tank guided missile configurations were also available. The result was not glamorous. It was practical. In the export arms market of the 1980s, practical was exactly what buyers needed. Before we get into where the Condor actually fought and the night it saved an entire American special operations force without anyone knowing what it was, hit subscribe if you’re new to this channel.
It takes 1 second, costs nothing, and it keeps this channel going. The first and largest order arrived in late 1981, Malaysia. 459 vehicles, the single biggest order the Condor program would ever receive with all deliveries completed by March 1984. The Royal Armoured Corps equipped all four of its active regiments with the new carrier.
It replaced the aging American-built V-150 Commando. In the dense jungle of northern peninsula Malaysia, the Condor entered operational service during the final years of the second Malayan Emergency, the long counter-insurgency campaign against the remnants of the Malayan Communist Party, wet ground, tight tracks, close canopy.
The Unimog portal axles handled the terrain better than the unit’s previous vehicles. Malaysian Army technicians noted the mechanical reliability. The commercial parts network proved exactly as practical as Henschel had promised. But, the jungle was not where the Condor would face its defining test. October 3, 1993, Mogadishu, Somalia.
A United Nations peacekeeping operation called UNOSOM II had been attempting to stabilize a city that was collapsing into faction warfare. That afternoon, American special operations forces from Task Force Ranger launched a daylight raid into the Bakara Market District to capture Senior Lieutenants of the warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.
Two MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were shot down over the city. Dozens of American soldiers were trapped in the streets overnight, surrounded by thousands of armed militia fighters. The American Quick Reaction Force could not break through to them alone. At 23:24 hours on October 3, a United Nations relief column of roughly 100 vehicles departed the Pakistani compound at Mogadishu’s new port.
At the front of that column, and carrying American infantrymen in their rear compartments, were 24 Condor armored personnel carriers of the 19th Royal Malay Regiment, led by then Colonel Abdul Latif Ahmad. Pakistani M48 tanks rolled alongside them. American Humvees and 5-ton trucks followed behind. The column took a wrong turn onto National Street.
The lead Condors were immediately struck by RPG rounds and concentrated machine gun fire from multiple directions. Lance Corporal Mat Aznan Awang, 33 years old, from the village of Kampung Parit Panjang in Kedah, was driving the lead vehicle. An RPG round penetrated the bullet-resistant front windscreen. He was killed instantly.
Several soldiers around him were wounded. The column pushed forward anyway. Four Condors were knocked out during the fighting and abandoned in the streets. American AC-130 Spectre gunships later destroyed the abandoned hulks to prevent the militia from capturing and using them. The surviving vehicles reached the crash sites at 01:55 hours on October 4, 1993.
The trapped American soldiers were loaded aboard and extracted to safety. One Malaysian soldier dead, nine wounded. Every trapped American recovered alive. The 2001 Ridley Scott film Black Hawk Down did not show the rescue with Malaysian Condors. The production could not obtain actual Condors for filming. They used French-built VAB armored vehicles in their place.
For over two decades, most of the world watched a French vehicle perform the rescue that a German-built one had actually carried out. Malaysian veterans have noted this substitution consistently and without restraint ever since. Lance Corporal Mat Aznan Awang was promoted posthumously to Corporal and awarded the Seri Pahlawan Gagah Perkasa, Malaysia’s highest gallantry decoration.
His daughter later joined the same 19th Royal Malay Regiment in which he served and died. Mogadishu clarified what the Condor could not do. Its armor stopped rifle bullets. It did not stop shaped charges. The RPG round that killed Mat Aznan Awang penetrated a windscreen designed to resist assault rifle fire, not warheads. After the Somalia deployment, the Malaysian army also banned the use of rear pintle machine guns on Condors following the deaths of soldiers exposed in rear hatches during vehicle rollovers earlier in the mission. Two operational
lessons, both paid for in blood, both recorded permanently in doctrine. The Condors kept serving from 1993 through 1998. Malaysian Condors rotated through the former Yugoslavia under UNPROFOR and then under IFOR and SFOR, monitoring ceasefire lines and supervising weapons disarmament in the Bosnian mountains.
The steep roads, deep mud, and tight mountain passes placed real strain on the 4×4 drivetrain. The Malaysian army identified the vehicle’s terrain limitations clearly and formally. They would not forget the lesson. In February 2013, Condors led the armored ground assault during Operation Daulat, the Malaysian Army’s response to an armed incursion by followers of a self-styled Sultan of Sulu who had seized villages near Lahad Datu in Sabah.
Combined with air strikes from Royal Malaysian Air Force jets and artillery support, the column cleared the occupied villages against lightly armed irregular fighters. The Condor performed precisely as designed. Between 2007 and April 2024, Malaysian Condors of Malbatt 850 served with UNIFIL in Lebanon as the backbone of the quick reaction force.
20 vehicles replaced in April 2024 by 20 Turkish-built Ada Yalcin 4×4 armored vehicles under a contract worth 190 million ringgit, approximately 42 million dollars. The Condors that had held that line for 17 years were retired. In eastern Congo, Uruguayan Condors, locally designated UR-425, have been deployed under the United Nations peacekeeping mission MONUSCO since 2001.
In January 2025, during the M23 rebel assault on the city of Goma, Uruguayan Condors were on the ground. The fourth Uruguay battalion sheltered an estimated 1,200 Congolese soldiers and over 1,000 civilians at their position. One Uruguayan soldier, Rodolfo Alvarez of the fourth Uruguay battalion, was killed in the fighting.
Four others were wounded. A vehicle designed in 1978 was still being shot at in 2025. On paper, the French VAB looked superior. Heavier at 13.8 tons, available in 4×4 and 6×6 configurations, over 5,000 sold in 30 different versions to more than 50 nations since 1976. In pure sales volume, the VAB out sold the Condor by roughly 8 to 1.
In practice, the Condor offered something the VAB could not replicate in the markets that mattered most to its customers. Commercial parts accessibility. Any army operating a Condor had access to the global Mercedes-Benz Unimog service network covering over 4,700 stations in 170 countries. That network kept the Malaysian fleet of over 400 vehicles operational for four decades at a fraction of the logistical cost that comparable specialist military vehicles would have demanded.
It is the reason the Condor is still in frontline service today. Compared with the American M113 tracked carrier, the Condor was faster on paved roads, quieter during long road marches, and demanded none of the tracked vehicle maintenance expertise that has quietly constrained the M113’s operational footprint outside high capability armies.
Against the British FV432, the same comparisons applied. Heavier protection on both tracked vehicles, but proportionally heavier logistical burdens. Germany’s own Transportpanzer 1, the vehicle the Bundeswehr chose instead of the Condor, was a far more capable machine. 320 horsepower, full nuclear, biological, and chemical protection as standard.
12 distinct operational variants, but at roughly twice the acquisition cost and twice the maintenance burden, it belonged to a completely different market. The Condor found its customers in the space between. Nations that needed armored mobility rather than armored combat power. Nations whose maintenance infrastructure ran through commercial garages, not specialist military depots.
Total production reached 624 Condor 1 vehicles by January 1, 2003, according to Forecast International. Across all variants, including the updated Condor 2 built on the newer Mercedes-Benz Unimog U5000 chassis with a 218 horsepower engine, total production reached approximately 785 vehicles.
Kuwait’s National Guard received eight Condor 2 vehicles beginning in 2004, fitted with a front-mounted dozer blade for obstacle clearance. Every single Condor ever built was an export sale. Not one wore a German military marking. 1978, Kassel, West Germany. A boxy steel hull on four commercial truck wheels. No customer, no budget, no famous name.
It was underpowered against shape charges. Its armor stopped rifle fire and nothing heavier. Its 4×4 drivetrain had genuine limits in deep mud and mountain terrain. It carried no thermal sights, no advanced fire control systems, and no ballistic protection above a well-defined threshold that combat proved to be insufficient in urban ambushes.
And yet, in the jungles of Malaysia, it outlasted its designed service life by three decades. In the streets of Mogadishu, it drove into an ambush and brought American soldiers home. In the mountains of Bosnia, it held ceasefire lines that kept a fractured country from sliding back into open war. In the forests of Sabah, it led an armored assault that ended an armed occupation.
In eastern Congo, it is still there today. In 2025, doing the unglamorous, uncelebrated work of peacekeeping in one of the most violent corners of the world. Its advantage was never armor. It was never firepower. It was a Mercedes-Benz diesel engine, a Unimog portal axle, and a global commercial supply chain that kept it running long after every contemporary rival had returned to the depot for the last time. Seven nations bought it.
Four continents operated it. One Hollywood film replaced it with a French vehicle and gave the credit to someone else. And the man who died at its wheel, driving into the worst street battle of the 1990s, received a decoration that most of the world has still never heard of. That is not obscurity.
That is what armored mobility looks like when nobody’s watching.
QQ4 Bob Dylan and Keith Richards have been close friends for nearly 40 years. The friendship began on a live television program in November of 1986 in the 11 seconds after Bob Dylan called Keith Richards music derivative on camera. Keith Richard’s response to that assessment, one sentence said without anger, without performance, with the specific directness of a man who has nothing to prove and knows it made Bob Dylan laugh.
Then made Bob Dylan go quiet. then made Bob Dylan say two words that people who know Bob Dylan say he almost never said to anyone. This is the story of those 11 seconds and the 40 years that followed them. The program was a live music interview special broadcast on an American network on the evening of November 3rd, 1986. The format was simple.
Two musicians, a host, an hour of conversation about music and the state of it. The producers had assembled the pairing of Bob Dylan and Keith Richards with the specific calculation of television producers who understand that two people with equally strong and potentially incompatible views about what music is and what it should do will produce better television than two people who agree about everything.
The calculation was correct, though not in the way the producers had anticipated. Bob Dylan was 45 years old in November of 1986. Bob Dylan had released Empire Burlesque the previous year and had been on the road for most of the intervening period as part of the True Confessions tour with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Bob Dylan was in November of 1986 in one of the most prolific and restless phases of a career that had consisted almost entirely of prolific and restless phases. A career that had moved through folk, rock, country, gospel, and back again, that had been declared finished at least six times by the music press, and at each time continued with the serene indifference of a river to the opinions of people standing on its banks.
Bob Dylan had been redefining what music could be. Since 1962, Bob Dylan had invented and reinvented himself so many times that reinvention had become his defining characteristic, not in the superficial sense of a performer changing costumes, but in the deeper sense of a musician who had never allowed his work to settle into a form that could be anticipated or categorized from the outside.
Bob Dylan understood influence and originality and the relationship between them better than almost anyone alive in 1986. Bob Dylan had spent 24 years thinking carefully and specifically about where music came from and where music was going and what it meant that those two things were always in constant conversation with each other.
Keith Richards was 42 years old in November of 1986. Keith Richards had been playing guitar professionally since 1962. Keith Richards had built a career on a foundation of American blues and rhythm and blues. A foundation that Keith Richards had studied with the systematic devotion of someone who understood that the tradition he was building on was not incidental to the music he was making, but essential to it.
that you could not understand what Keith Richards did without understanding where Keith Richards had come from and what Keith Richards had been listening to since he was a teenager in Dartford with American Import Records and a secondhand guitar and no teacher except the recordings themselves. Keith Richards had never pretended otherwise. Keith Richards had in fact spent considerable energy across his career making the lineage explicit, naming the artists, citing the recordings, insisting on the acknowledgement of influence that the mainstream music
industry had a long history of suppressing or ignoring or crediting to the wrong people. If anything, Keith Richards was more transparent about his sources than most musicians of his generation. Keith Richards had always said openly that the Rolling Stones came directly from the blues, that Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson and the specific tradition of the Mississippi Delta were not background influences, but foundational ones.
The music Keith Richards made was in direct and sustained conversation with that tradition, something Keith Richards considered not a limitation, but a responsibility and a form of respect. The interview had been running for 8 minutes when the host asked Bob Dylan about the current state of rock and roll.
Bob Dylan answered with the density and the indirection that characterized Bob Dylan’s responses to direct questions, turning the question over, approaching it from an unexpected angle, finding his way to what he actually thought through a series of observations that moved like a river rather than a road. Bob Dylan was not a straightforward interview subject.
Bob Dylan had been asked about rock and roll in hundreds of interviews across 24 years and had developed the habit of treating the question as an invitation to think out loud rather than a request for a prepared position. The producer Gerald Sherman said afterward that in the first 8 minutes of the interview, he had been slightly anxious, not because anything was going wrong, but because nothing was going anywhere in particular yet.
The interview had the feeling of two conversations happening simultaneously. Bob Dylan’s internal one and the external one visible to the cameras. And Gerald Sherman was not certain in those first eight minutes that the two conversations would converge into something. Bob Dylan talked about influence. Bob Dylan talked about originality.
Bob Dylan talked about the difference between music that absorbed a tradition and transformed it and music that absorbed a tradition and reproduced it. And then Bob Dylan made his assessment. And then Bob Dylan said with the precision of a man making a musical assessment rather than a personal judgment that the Rolling Stones work, and Bob Dylan was specific, naming Keith Richards as the guitarist whose approach he was discussing was derivative in a way that Bob Dylan found limiting.
Bob Dylan said it without hostility. Bob Dylan said it as a technical observation about the relationship between source material and the work that came from it. Bob Dylan said that Keith Richards played the blues the way the blues had already been played, rather than using the blues as a starting point for something that had not yet been played.
Keith Richards had been listening to this with the specific attention Keith Richards gave to things being said about music by people who knew music. Keith Richards did not interrupt. Keith Richards did not shift in his chair or display any of the visible signals of a person preparing a defensive response. Keith Richards listened to Bob Dylan’s complete observation all the way to its conclusion without interrupting and without displaying any visible signal of preparing a response.
Then Keith Richards said one sentence. The sentence was not a rebuttal. The sentence did not defend Keith Richards music or argue for its originality or challenge Bob Dylan’s characterization of what the blues meant in the context of rock and roll. The sentence was something else entirely, something that required a specific kind of confidence to say.
The confidence of a person who has spent long enough thinking about the same things as the person they are talking to that they can locate the exact point where their thinking diverges and say something useful about that point rather than simply defending their own position. The sentence acknowledged everything Bob Dylan had said, the assessment, the distinction Bob Dylan was drawing, the specific musical concern underlying the observation, and then turned it 90°.
Keith Richards took Bob Dylan’s own framework, the one Bob Dylan had used to analyze Keith Richards relationship to the blues tradition, and applied it back to Bob Dylan’s work with the same precision Bob Dylan had used to apply it to Keith Richards. Spare aimed. The sentence asked Bob Dylan something about Bob Dylan’s own music, about the relationship between Bob Dylan’s sources and Bob Dylan’s output that Bob Dylan had not been asked on television before.
The sentence did not attack. The sentence illuminated. Bob Dylan laughed. The laugh was not the polite laugh of someone responding to a joke. The laugh was the involuntary laugh of someone who has been genuinely surprised. The specific kind of surprise that a person of exceptional intelligence experiences when someone else’s intelligence exceeds their expectations.
Bob Dylan laughed for 4 seconds. Then Bob Dylan stopped laughing. Then Bob Dylan was quiet for 3 seconds in the way that Bob Dylan was quiet when Bob Dylan was thinking rather than performing thought. Then Bob Dylan said, “You’re right.” The producer in the booth, a man named Gerald Sherman, who had been working in television for 14 years, said afterward that in 14 years of live television production, he had never heard Bob Dylan say those two words in a public forum.
Gerald Sherman said he had worked with Bob Dylan on two previous occasions and had observed Bob Dylan in numerous other contexts and that you’re right was not a phrase that Bob Dylan deployed easily or often because Bob Dylan had spent 24 years being right about music in ways that other people eventually caught up with. And the experience of being right ahead of everyone else does not generally produce a man who says you’re right readily when someone else makes a point.
The host of the program, a journalist named Patricia Wells, who had been interviewing musicians for 12 years, said afterward that the 11 seconds between Bob Dylan’s assessment and Bob Dylan saying, “You’re right,” were the most extraordinary 11 seconds of television she had been present for. Patricia Wells said that what she witnessed in those 11 seconds was not a debate or a confrontation or a celebrity exchange of competing opinions.
Patricia Wells said what she witnessed was one musician recognizing another musician as an equal, which was in the specific context of Bob Dylan in 1986, not something that happened in public very often. The interview continued for another 42 minutes after those 11 seconds. The conversation between Bob Dylan and Keith Richards in the remaining 42 minutes was described by everyone who watched it as fundamentally different from the first 8 minutes.
The host, Patricia Wells, who had been conducting music interviews for 12 years and understood the difference between the performance of conversation and actual conversation, said that at approximately the 9-minute mark, something shifted in the studio. That the formal interview, architecture dissolved, and what replaced it was something less structured and more genuine.
Bob Dylan and Keith Richards talked about influence and originality and the blues and what it meant to build on a tradition without being consumed by it. They talked about specific recordings and specific musicians with the specificity of two people who had spent their entire adult lives thinking about these things and rarely found another person who had thought about them with equivalent care.
They talked about where music came from and where music was going and whether those two questions were actually one question or two. Patricia Wells said afterward that she had asked approximately four questions in the remaining 42 minutes because Bob Dylan and Keith Richards did not require questions. They required only a room and a camera and the shared understanding that what they were saying together was worth recording carefully.
She said it was the best interview she had ever conducted and that she had conducted the smallest part of it. After the program, Bob Dylan and Keith Richards were in the corridor outside the studio when the host Patricia Wells passed them. Patricia Wells said she did not stop because she did not want to interrupt.
She observed them for approximately 30 seconds from a distance. She said they were talking with the ease of people who had known each other for years rather than people who had met for the first time 2 hours earlier. She said that something had shifted between them during the broadcast that the broadcast had made permanent rather than temporary.
She continued down the corridor and did not look back. She said in her account of that evening that she had decided in that moment not to interrupt the conversation because some conversations are more valuable than any question a journalist might ask and that the conversation she had observed for 30 seconds in the corridor outside the studio was one of them.
She had been a music journalist for 12 years. She recognized the difference. Bob Dylan and Keith Richards have maintained their friendship across four decades. They have appeared together at various events, most significantly at the concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, where people who were present described them as inseparable for most of the evening, occupying the same corner of the backstage area and talking with the concentrated attention of people who only have a limited amount of time together and intend to use it
well. Bob Dylan has spoken about Keith Richards in interviews with the specific thoughtful care that Bob Dylan reserves for musicians whose work Bob Dylan considers genuinely important rather than merely culturally prominent. Keith Richards has spoken about Bob Dylan in similar terms with the specific respect of someone who recognizes in another person a commitment to music that goes deeper than career.
Neither Bob Dylan nor Keith Richards has made a public statement specifically about how the friendship began or about the November 1986 interview. Bob Dylan has not mentioned the 11 seconds. Keith Richards has not mentioned the sentence. The interview exists in the archive. The 11 seconds are there. The laugh is there. The two words are there.
What is also there for anyone who watches the interview from its beginning and pays attention to the shift that happens at the 9-minute mark is the specific moment when two people who thought they were appearing on a television program discovered they were actually talking to each other. What Keith Richards said in that one sentence has never been officially reported.
The people who were in the studio that evening, Gerald Sherman, Patricia Wells, the floor crew, the two camera operators, the makeup artist who was watching from the side of the set, have described the sentence in consistent terms. They have described its effect. They have described Bob Dylan’s laugh and Bob Dylan’s silence and Bob Dylan’s two words.
They have not repeated the sentence itself in the specific understanding that the sentence was said between two musicians on a television program and that its power resided in the specific context of that exchange and would not survive removal from it intact. What can be said is this. Keith Richards said something to Bob Dylan about Bob Dylan’s music that used Bob Dylan’s own observation about Keith Richards as its starting point and arrived somewhere that Bob Dylan had not anticipated.
Keith Richards turned Bob Dylan’s assessment 90° and showed Bob Dylan something about the music they had both spent their lives making that Bob Dylan recognized immediately as true. And Bob Dylan said, “You’re right.” Two words said by Bob Dylan in public on live television in 1986 to Keith Richards in response to a single sentence Keith Richards had said about music.
Two words that Gerald Sherman, who had worked with Bob Dylan on two previous occasions, said he had never heard Bob Dylan say in a public forum. Two words that Patricia Wells, who had been interviewing musicians for 12 years, said were the most significant two words she had heard in those 12 years. Not because of their content, but because of who said them and what it cost to say them and what it meant that Keith Richards had produced them in 11 seconds from a conversation that began with Bob Dylan calling Keith Richards’s music derivative. And Keith Richards and
Bob Dylan have been close friends for nearly 40 years. The sentence did its work in 11 seconds on the evening of November 3rd, 1986. The work has been ongoing ever since.
