– The Magazine for the North-West Vintage AviationEnthusiast Issue No. 9
This
latest edition runs to 56 pages and has some very interesting and
perhaps unique colour photographs. Whilst the geographical area is
mainly the North West, North Wales and Shropshire are included and there
is a wealth of aviation history to recount. Some of the articles
started in earlier issues are now well into series such as No. 613
(City of Manchester) Sqn RAuxAF, continuing the Manchester (Ringway)
theme with the 50th Anniversary of Transatlantic Scheduled
Services from Manchester and the Canadair Sabre in the North West
articles (both by ARG member Alan Scholefield) with one on the
Avro 748 (by ARG member Harry Holmes). Printed on high quality
paper the magazine is at a bargain price and material of much use
to those interested in aviation research.
