No, you didn't.

It appears to have been deleted by user Sailor Steve
(http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/relation/69318/1747) in changeset
10773722. Possibly the age-old "too easy to delete large relations in JOSM"
issue. I guess it makes a change from the National Byway and poor old NCN 4
which are the usual fallguys...

If there's anyone here who's confident in wangling .osm files (not really my
thing) and can reinstate the old version, please do.

Some big relations are just too big to show the whole history without
boggling the server, but you can always look at the raw XML:

http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/relation/69318

Then check the version attribute, and page back like this:

http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/relation/69318/1750
http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/relation/69318/1749
http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/relation/69318/1748
etc.

cheers
Richard
