Hi Lincoln 7,
Thank you for your help. Well i aleardy ordered the issue in question a few days ago from the local bookshop ( where i usually make my book orders ) so i guess it’s too late to cancel. Food for thought for next time though.
Personally, i would think electronic versions of AI or other reputable aviation magazines, would be a great idea. Few clicks, get your card details in, then click ok ; next, you happily read it on your PC in minutes! Everything is on the computer these days , isn’t it ?:p
