The monthly magazine 'Air Pictorial' was compulsory reading for plane spotters in the 1960s. Below is the link to the September '62 edition (right click on the cover image) reproduced with the kind permission of the Air League. Of interest is an editorial detailing the hopes of the British aviation industry, many of which - sadly - will be dashed, including the P1154, the proposed supersonic version of the P1127 (which became the Harrier). A more successful story was the BAC 1-11, which was bought by American airlines such as Braniff and Mohawk.

Scans of other editions are being prepared for future availability.
