There's sad news this month that the current edition of Air Enthusiast magazine is to be the last.

....I have to admit that I gave up purchasing Air Enthusiast a long long time ago - it was never the same after Green & Swanborough. I only occasionally buy Flypast come to that - too many 'news pages' that are long out of date by the time publication comes around & the content is/was far too parochial in my opinion - look at this issue - Beavers and Swordfishes....

.....I find that the Americans, the French and even the Germans do aviation history mags much better than we do...

Hi Neil

I agree - but, unfortunately, so few of them are widely available in the UK. As we lamented in an earlier thread, the UK aviation magazine scene is pretty dismal - and things have just gone from bad to worse with the loss of AE.

All the best
