From 3413f19264b13ab592b59e1cbcf443ef61aee3c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Waddington on washburn Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2015 12:03:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Found lots of esoteric markup errors in 1990 log (which are quite possibly my fault from getting on twenty years ago) Hope I got them all fixed. Also a few typos which are unlikely to be true reflections of logbook spellos.
