Considering my oft-lamented PDP is from the Canadian Department of
National Defence, I'm sure it's possible. It was part of the
engineering corps at CFB London, and was definitely not handling
classified material.
But maybe if someone with deep enough pockets and good
Canadian
connections tries, who knows what might be possible...
Just asking them might not be a bad plan. I'm willing to bet there are
a lot of people who worked on this thing that would prefer not to see it
scrapped, and would love to hear from someone willing to take it off the
government's hands. :)
I wish I could do it. :)
