THERE IS STILL AN ERROR IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES VIEWING SYSTEM ... when you load a page the archive turns the page number back three pages. Simply move forward to the page you intended. This has been reported.


Note
The ship works on Civil time (starts and ends at midnight): July 17th (page n31). Commences [...] at 3.40 AM [...] at 6.30 AM [...] at 11 AM [...] at 4.20 PM [...]
