Flypast is an excellent magazine. I had so many stashed in my wardrobe the shelves collapsed and I received a stern tongue lashing from Mrs Snafu :)

I tend to keep them for about three years, and then go through them to see if there's anything that I want to keep, and then donate them to the doctors surgery. Don't know about you guys, but when waiting for your name to be called, "Good Housekeeping" really doesn't quite hit the mark! :D I call it services to the community! ;)

Subscirbed to Flypast for a few years now, always excellent.
This month's was bigger than usual as the B17 feature was a "pullout".

You could always donate them to my Charity!!!! :D :D
Having said that I have filled a big gap in my back issues using E-Bay and the Newark Air Museum (A wonderful resource - One years for a fiver).

'FlyPast' is essential reading and frequently gives coverage to AA models.
I've had it on subscription now for about ten years; around the 25th/26th of every month I start to get withdrawal symptons which can only be relieved by my sigh of 'Ahhhh...my FlyPast ! :) ' when I find it on the doormat..... ;)

I'm just an old sentimentalist... :(
I must confess, tho'.....you'll find me hunting out those old 1980's copies on airshow stalls - the articles seemed a lot better then..... ;)

That was the first time round....
Are Aeroplane magazines worth anything.. 1986 relaunch for about 24 issues..?

Yeah I've got a load to read - saving them for the Long dark winter months - thanks to picking a rather large bundle up on E-Bay....
