Recent issues of Aeroplane have had far too much coverage of displays and of the careers and business affairs of those who run them or fly the aircraft there. In brief, there's too much about people and not nearly enough seriously-written material about aircraft.

An earlier post asked what happened to Jarrod Cotter; whatever it was, it was none too soon. I very quickly tire of long editorials written in the first person, and maybe this was when the emphasis on 'personalities' at the expense of aircraft started.

Do other readers really want double-page colour spreads of a single photo? I certainly don't. It's a trend that infests Time magazine too; maybe it's cheaper to pay a fee for a single image than it is to pay someone to write two pages of copy, but it does nothing at all to add to the interest of the article it illustrates.

At present my subscription renewal hangs in the balance.
