Well I have found a single source that maintains the original development program received UK Govt funding from 1971 until release to service for the MM38 version, would be suprised if it went beyond that period as the Govt were funding the Sea Eagle program for the air launched requirement and never purchased AM39. UK funded would indeed make excocet an Anglo-French project then. I would like to see a print source though so I will have a look at the library.
