I think all the UK mag. editors should take a look at Flying from the US. I buy it whenever I can, although it is sadly less often available these days. The annual subscription I have just been given should solve that.
The aircraft reviews in the UK mags are on the whole not too bad. The news bites are also OK. IMHO the rest has no depth to it all and seems to be directed at the very new PPL or trainee PPL.
Also the mags are all very pretty and maybe that is what it takes to sell them in the UK but I cant help feeling most pilots would actually prefer better content and less pretty pictures.
Take a look at Flying as a real contrast. I would be interested in other peoples views who are familiar with both types of magazines.
