Hi All
Just a quick note (lot of work to do preparing the next issue, the biggest of the year) to let you know that I appreciate your thoughts and, perhaps oddly, to say that I agree with many of the comments made.
Like you I am a flyer (bad pun, sorry
) and I love reading good features and books about flying (just finished No Escape Zone by Nick Richardson, Sea Harriers in Bosnia and well worth reading, and I've just started on First Light).
There are many issues involved in producing a magazine, particularly in a small, specialist market such as ours, which range from getting hold of, and producing, the quality of material you (and I) would like read through to ensuring that it is all done within a realistic budget.
The feedback here, though, is very valuable and noted. I suspect you'll see some of the articles you'd like to read in print (not necessarily just in our magazine) before too long.
If anyone feels they would like to write any of them (or suggest an author – I've been trying to do the ATC one for some time but ATCOs I have spoken to are concerned about their employment contracts, even writing anonymously) and would like to discuss the idea, please feel free to call me on 01225 481440 or email me
[email protected] (or indeed get in touch if you have any other comments you'd like to make).
Nick
