Certainly -
A really well put together mag, with lots of interesting bits in it - rather than dry official history stuff... even Jim Mailer's bit, which appears to have been typed on a portable typewriter circa 1915 Lot's of reminders of what was happening in each decade, unless you are blessed with 100% retention there are bound to be a couple of stories that jar the odd memory loose from the dusty corners of your brain.

Lots of human interest, any ex kipper fleet type will recognise many of the names if not starring personally - it's well worth reading if only to learn about Bill Speight's early career as a wall of death rider.

As an added bonus, unlike many another magazine, this one's accurate!
