Must have been major work to convert it into a mk VIII and back again, anyone know how far the conversion got before it was reconverted?

Incidentally, someone was asking recently why Warbirds Worldwide folded. Lancman (sorry to point you out old chap) has unintentionally answered that – if you don’t buy it, it goes bust (eventually). If all the people who raved about WW actually bought the issues when they came out, rather than later, it’d probably still be going. Mags aren’t expensive chaps. (rant over)

Well said James,

I subscribed constantly from issue 3 including special editions (having bought 1 & 2 from Airshow stands as they were released) and was constantly impressed with the magazine content. I was saddened when it ceased not only because I missed the publication but also for those who worked so hard to produce it.
A few years have gone by now and I guess there are a whole new bunch of enthusiasts who were maybe not interested in Warbirds at the time who have found the publication and are trying to build their collection up (and no you’re not having my collection).
Warbirds Worldwide is much missed.

Fair enough.

Thanks for that, I’ve been looking for a copy of that for a little while.

Yak11: You cheeky so-and-so. If nobody bids (which is exceptionally likely), then I get to post a pic of you. Touché.

A pic of me????

I thought Damien and Snapper had cornered the market there

What if nobody bids?

So Janie, are you saying it’s entirely your fault?

Hopefully sometime after the engine has been bolted on the front.
