Centaurus. Thanks for your excellent post. I wonder what else is squirrelled away in your shed?

Wannabes. Is there a potential pilot out there with the time and inclination to track these magazines down, digitise them and put them on the Internet? It would be a marvellous service to aviation to have these magazines available on the net; and whoever did this would have an interesting talking point for a CV and job interview.
