GDay Hudson,
About 10yrs ago, whilst saving money to learn to fly, I met a truckie who had previously worked as a Charter Pilot. Having learned about my interest in flying, he gave me his entire collection of Safety Digests, some of which had been his Father's, dating from around 1966 right up until the final editions of the late 80s.
I found them to be eminently valuable throughout my GA career, and even now in a major airline I find they contain useful information.
It's interesting to observe similarities between accidents from those years and more recent ones, most notably the old "VFR into IMC" trick. It seems we never learn, and I'd be pleased to see Flight Safety Australia move away from its more commercial style to something more like the old digests.
WG.
