Can't thank you guys enough, I didn't actually think i'd get many replies so I really appreciate it!
I know a couple of people in the RAF (one locally), so I frequently speak to them too. They mentioned subscribing to the global economist, an online magazine. Anybody have any thoughts on that? In my eyes it would help with all the world news etc. (and yes I do watch the news too)
Global Economist Review Online Magazine <--- That's the link if anybody wanted to have a look.
