Thanks Ghengis,
Though I think it's possible we're talking about 2 different magazines; I have seen articles by John in a certain magazine over the years, but now a rather more ' military ' based publication is making much of a new format bolstered by an interview with John, now followed by a regular column by him ( which judging by the heading and proposed subects covered, sounds like it will be both informative and amusing ) !
Whatever, I suggest anyone interested makes haste to the newsagent, as the latest copy of the mag' I'm referring to has a photo' & caption of John as an inset on the front cover, so is easy to spot !
