This has been a great thread, but in jogging the memory, I now realise that my first mag (Aircraft Illustrated) was bought in August 1971, which has come as a bit of a shock and I now need to lie down to recover! The sheer numbers of mags available in the U.K. (across all subjects) never ceases to amaze, and good or bad as this may be, surely the U.K. must be well in the lead in terms of numbers of titles. When travelling abroad (e.g. the U.S.) I’ve found that titles on “transport” subjects (let alone others) are invariably imported from the U.K. Is this a reflection of our long standing national preoccupation with “hobbies”? Anyway, great stuff.
