Dear FalkeEins,

Thank you for the alert on the Jan. 2017 issue of FlyPast. I agree with your assessment of the quality of today's main British aviation magazines. However, with Robert Forsyth as an author, I elected to buy the issue sight unseen, an indication of the esteem I hold for Robert.

Yes, there is a lot of coverage now on the various restoration projects and not enough good, solid history articles. On top of that, the writing accompanying the restoration photos can be very sloppy, creating "facts" out of thin air for which there really is no evidence to support them. However, since I have assisted with Me 262 restoration/new build projects, I do appreciate being able to follow their progress.

Regards,
Richard
