Does anyone have access to these two magazines ? Would you be willing to copy or scan several pages for me?

Thanks.....

The LAA have an archivist (sorry can't remember their name) Maybe call them at Turkestan? :roll eyes: Look what spellcheck did to Tureweston:ugh:

CloudHound............

Yes, these spell checkers have a lot to answer for.....!!! It is NOT the PFA magazine I am after, I am sat on quite a collection of those and they are fairly readily obtainable.
A magazine called ""POULAR FLYING"" was also published during the 1930s, long before the PFA was ever dreamt of!! It was edited by/published by Capt. W.E. Johns author of the Biggles books. It is those that I am after. Just need someone to scan/copy a few pages for me. Turweston !!

Perhaps try an email to "Roger Harris" at Popular Flying Magazine (http://www.popularflying.com?)

The National Aerospace Libratry at Farnborough almost certainly has a com-lete run of Popular Flying. A call to Brian Riddle there will be the answer.

It looks like you are in luck if you can visit Farnborough, or contact the library. They appear to have a complete bound set.
