museumtom Posted 17 April , 2020 Author Share Posted 17 April , 2020 Thank you for that Craig. I was hoping it would say attrib or caused by. I did not find his discharge docs, they are not in FMP. The critical sheet is just not there. Thanks again Craig. Kind regards. Tom/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
