07Questions

Questions and answers.

Why is the history so short?
Only milestones supported by a record are listed. Entries are added as their records are confirmed, rather than reconstructed from memory or earlier marketing.
What happened to earlier programmes and names?
Superseded arrangements are noted on this page rather than deleted. Retired names do not reappear in current pages.
Can I propose a correction to an entry?
Yes. Write to the integrity concern form with the entry and your evidence.
