Spotted an issue?
This website has been in operation for over 30 years and has produced over 12,000 articles. It is, on the whole, a one man job without a subs desk or peer reviewing. OVF tries to prevent errors but inevitably some will occur. Over the years it has been moved from multiple servers and as a result, some older content may also need fixing – broken images, links or out of date facts may be in place.
If you spot anything please help us out by emailing the editor here including the URL of the page where the mistake is. Thanks!
