Below is the link to the October '62 edition (right click on the cover image). Points of interest:

- details of proposed Anglo-French supersonic airliner, as yet unnamed
- editorial comment that the UK government is less supportive of aviation than French ditto
- price of the new DH125 bizjet will be £150k (approx £2.3m in today's money) while a new Turbulent can be had for just over £1k (£15k)
- in an eerie harbinger of recent events the 1928 evacuation of Kabul by RAF transports is described
- the RAF and Navy operated several aerobatic formation teams between them
