A new UK aviation magazine on the stalls.

My good lady has just returned from ‘shoppin’ with a new magazine from WH Smiths. ‘RAF – The Official Magazine’ a glossy blend of historic and modern and looks quite interesting. This appears to be ‘Issue 2 Autumn 2004’.

Official, semi official – how very intriguing.

Has anybody out there got the inside story on this one? JDK?

When I hear on the grapevine that the MoD are, or are about to, tighten up on the use and copyright of old Crown images, I wonder if there is a linkage.

Precisely.

Let alone one that was built less than 30 miles from where it lives.

A yank in a Merc couldn’t keep up.

It stinks like any uncatted car, ta.

I wish it did know the way to OW, then I could have a nap en route!

OK, that’s enough. Anyone British aviation enthusiasts wanting to be rude about my museum exibit are welcome – provided they also drive a British car… 😉

A blacksmith built salon? I don’t think so.

JDK,

Has it been removed from the Old Warden car park then?

I’m with Will Wm Willy Bill Shaksp Sha Sh – the bard on this one…

The height to weight ratio is also rather unusual. As is yours Robbo!… ;D

That’s be a 32 year old sports car then. Not the much more modern (blowing up) sports car by the chap not in publishing, our own Mr Young?

I’d love to be in MOD publishing. (Heh)

If I might add – god bless the women in our lives when they think of us like that!

This is the second issue and for me, there is no value in it, just an ‘arty’ PR tool for the RAF. More like a glossy version of RAF News without anything historical.I think it held 2 seconds of my attention in Smiths. There were giving them away free at the Kemble Air Day!
