I doubt anyone here can help but I have been made aware of this request. If anyone has any items they can help with please message me.

I am working with a small group supporting DCC Nav Malik, NPCC Lead for PNC/LEDS and we would appreciate your help if possible..!
PNC will reach 50 years of service next April… which we believe, and are currently liaising with Guinness Book of Records, that PNC is the longest, continuously running, computer software application in existence… Plans are underway to ensure a suitable celebration for this… To support this, we are looking for:
• Items of original PNC hardware – including terminals/monitors, keyboard units
• Pictures / videos of early PNC usage
• Stories / anecdotes of how PNC has either helped policing, and/or that are interesting/funny
If you have any items that can be passed to us that would be greatly appreciated. The event is going to be on April 25th 2024 and we will arrange for collection (and return).

Thanks
