Photo Interpreters too

We used to love reading through this monthly and trying to spot the mistakes. This was after Mr Robertson's time there of course. These were nearly always caused by the printers substituting a photo at the last minute and getting it wrong.

These were an excellent source of information for me since a lad in the ATC (yes me too) reading with horror the number of allied aircraft shot down by friendly fighters AAA etc! I must have read and used most of them over the years.

Even though it was sold to friendly nations, along with Air Clues the end came for a number of financial reasons but the need for it still remains.

Another very interesting read was the Dutch publication 'Heerkening' (recognition). I have the final copy of this (even better recce journal). However when the Dutch stopped printing their magazine they continued with an on-line journal for their services.

Now why didn't we do the same?
