Oh cut it out, Nige, please.
I did spend some years in the publishing industry (including magazines).
What we are talking about here is what 'Aeroplane Monthly' offered before the quantum shift in publishing and editorial policy.
It was not a change for the better as far as the loyal subscribers were concerned.
During some forty years of readership, I don't recall one article reprint, either. (except bonus cutaway supplements and the like.)
Like other tabloid media, its just another example of 'dumbing-down' the product under the philosophy of..."Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the average customer".
The former readership of 'Aeroplane Monthly' were not your 'average customers'.
