I am sure they're great pilots but are there enough of them in the UK to support a printed magazine?

As I often rant on elsewhere, the whole GA scene in the UK is gradually going down the pan. Unless you are happy to see it degenerate to farm strip based operators only (which many people possibly are, having got their PPLs already), it cannot be sustained on the current declining trends. The magazines are still the highest profile pushers in this game (very very tiny % of UK pilots ever read the stuff here) so they ought to lead some sort of modernisation.

Modern planes, modern avionics, modern nav methods...
