Boozeboy, Sopwith – We aren’t aware of any major problem with the printing of the Airshow Guide but obviously with such large runs there is always the potential for a few rogue copies. If you would like a replacement please send your details to [email]shaun.binnington@keypublishing.com[/email] and I will get it sent out for you. The same applies for anyone reading this who has experienced the same problems.

Airshow Guide
Bought my copy of Flypast the other day and looking at the airshow guide last night I was very disappointed to find that it is virtualy useless, as it starts on page 12 and then goes on normally for several pages whereupon page 12 onwards is repeated.Is mine the only copy like this and was I unfortunate to get the duff one or is this the case with all of them?It is a pity for Flypast if they are all like it.Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I felt that it needed pointing out.
