WH904,
Oh, I see then... so you're a principal of AM, or at least a senior member of the editorial staff - and Nige321 would be a relatively junior employee. No?
Stanwell, have you missed your medication, that's the funniest post I've seen today.
No, I don't work for Aeroplane, or Flypast - I design UAVs for a living.
However...
I do write, as a 'paying hobby' a bimonthly column in, lets say, a 'special interest technical magazine with an aeronautical connection'.
Trust me, the
biggest threat to all these magazines is the internet.
The number of times I've seen 'I don't bother with mags, I get all the advice I need from anonymous forums'...
It's sad, but inevitable that the majority of special interest mags will be gone within, I'd say, 10 years.
I've always liked AM more then Flypast, agreed some months are better than others, but you can never please all the people all the time....
