Have last year’s calendar hanging on the wall next to my computer – was looking forward to this year’s issue.

Hi Jim,

Please see updated post above. The free calendar is included in this issue!

An initiative with huge potential.

But really strange to see how a product with worldwide access without any addiitonal costs or resource implications is promoted as if it is only targetting the british market.

I guess that the chance that I get an answer is close to nill but I really would like to know why this product is promoted in this way

Hi Drabslab

Thanks for taking the time to send a message. I agree there is huge potential for AirForces Daily (AFD) but it definitely isn’t being geared for the British market. Its a global brand, just like AirForces Monthly. Around 60% of the AFD subscriptions taken out to date are actually from overseas.
As Editor, AFM (99-2010) I geared AFM for the global market – but the one weakness was that people didnt get the news as soon as it broke. Often they had to wait six weeks to get the mag, so the news was pretty outdated and may even have been taken over by events. Well thats not the case anymore as the web solves that issue. As the AFM Editor, I also had a lot of requests for a sortable Attrition database, couple that with videos and lighter features then make it all searchable by country air arm and aircraft type and you certainly have huge potential. I look forward to you subscribing! 🙂 Alan Warnes, Editor AirForces Daily

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.

Not been to Waddington before, going on the Sunday this year. How much space is there on the “front row” (ie. the fence line closest to the runway)? For photography, are there good views of the flybys from all over the site or is it best to get a position early and stick to it.

Many thanks.

Hi Tim,

If you’re a Key magazine subscriber and get to the show early enough there’s a good chance you could snap up some front row seats in our flight-line enclosure. Otherwise there’s usually an early morning scrum for the best spots in the general areas but there are decent views to be had all across the flight-line.

See you there!

So where would one get a copy in the USA?

Hi me109g4,

You should be able to find a copy of Spitfire in the same places you find your Key magazines. Or you can order from us direct with airmail postage using the link above.

regards, Updates.

Is this a one-off supplement or is it a regular magazine?

It is a one-off special magazine, although that is not to say that there won’t be more on the same theme in the future. For now though, this is the only one planned.
