Another good issuie.

[Hroth]

Already?

 

I'll have to make a trip again to my nearest MRJ vendor.

Subscription copies will likely be affected my the current postal disputes I suppose.

I take it page 159 and 169 are Paul’s model of Henley-on-Thames….

Is that really a 7 page obituary from page 151?

Got my subscription copy today, Sept 5th. Have to say that it is the least interesting MRJ I can remember.

Three adverts for shows that that been and gone! Very disappointing.

It is more of an article about Dick Petter's models with lots of photos. I've not read it in depth, but it looks quite interesting.

I noticed the out of date show adverts as well... Surely somethings gone a little wrong in the admin printing dept.. Other than that quirk another good month of skills I can only dream of

Still waiting for mine 12 days after it appeared on the shelves of WHS. 

This seems to happen regularly - do they post alphabetically one at a time?

Alphabetically ?
No, still waiting for mine... Sandy Cr........

When I use to pick my copy up from WHS pre-Covid,

PZ invariably had copies in before the rest of the UK.

Me too

My vendor didn't have 291 when I dropped in last week.  I'll have another look next Monday.  It'll give me something to read while the garage puts new tyres on the car...

 

If its arrived!!!

I know it’s bad form to talk about the arrival of subscription copies, but nothing here in OX11, more than a week after it appeared in WHS in Didcot.  Should I be worried yet?

[Siberian Snooper]

If your subs copy is sent out in alphabetical order, you're going to be at the bottom of the stack with 'Z'.

 

 

[chris p bacon]

Mine arrived on Tuesday.

 

I'm not fussed how long it takes, I use subs as a means to ensure getting a copy.

Posties are / have been on strike remember.

I guess it depends on your interests, as a modeller of blue diesels in the 70s and 80s, I thought it was a very good issue...

Quite so. Even as someone with no very great enthusiasm for the period, both Kier Hardy's modelling and his prose engage one's interest. 

 

I rather liked the top photo on p. 129. I saw Wibbenshaw with a friend who had been a keen spotter in the late 70s; his comment was that he would have loved to have found somewhere like that - such a variety of classes - not enough 47s!
