Quick question for the database editors...am I correct in assuming that if a platform has "0" in the From or Until columns in the database, it basically means:

From, CBDB: "We're not sure when this platform showed up, but we're pretty sure it was before 1945"

Until, CBDB: "We're not sure when this platform went away, but we're pretty sure it was still in service in 1980"

From, DB3000: "We're not sure when this platform showed up, but we're pretty sure it was before 1980"

Until, DB3000: "As far as we know, this platform is still in service as of 2014"

Or does it mean something else?

Thanks.

Mgellis,

That has been my understanding.

Now, let's wait. I am sure someone will tell us that it means something totally different. :-)

The simple answer is not sure when it came into service with that country for the CWDB
