Hi all,
I got home day to be faced with a brown envelope. Now I usually don’t open my post immediately, but being unusual I was intrigued.
I was surprised to find a logbook for my LC, changed to historic status.
Hadn’t even asked them they did it automatically.
Jon

Wow, I didn't know they did this automatic now, you used to have to apply through the PO. Great news.
