If they don't merge them, it will be interesting to see whether they still have a competition to see which mag can have the most photos of a Spitfire or a Hurricane on the cover over a year; or, indeed the most articles about these airplanes on the inside....God forbid!
And what of Jets...bravely different and not featuring RAF WW2 airplanes in profusion. Will it survive in its current form? I pray so, but I fear not.
Long live The Aviation Historian!
