C ONTENTS TO J UNE 2017 AIRFIELD REVIEW The Journal of the Airfield Research Group The journal was initially called Airfield Report , then ARG Newsletter, finally becoming Airfield Review in 1985. The number of pages has varied from initially just 6, occasio- nally to up to 60 (a few issues in c.2004). Typically 44, recent journals have been 48. There appear to have been three versions of the ARG index/ table of contents produced for the magazine since its conception. The first was that by David Hall c.1986, which was a very detailed publication and was extensively cross-referenced. For example if an article contained the sentence, ‘The squadron’s flights were temporarily located at Tangmere and Kenley’, then both sites would appear in the index. It also included titles of ‘Books Reviewed’ etc Since then the list has been considerably simplified with only article headings noted. I suspect that to create a current cross-reference list would take around a day per magazine which equates to around eight months work and is clearly impractical. The second version was then created in December 2009 by Richard Flagg with help from Peter Howarth, Bill Taylor, Ray Towler and myself. A third index was then generated by the late Jim Hope in MS Excel spreadsheet format which made sorting by both date and article title very easy. Unfortunately it did not include numerous minor articles, many of which were extremely good. So, this list has been compiled from Richard’s 2009 list and has been significantly updated. It was found there were a lot of inconsistencies in that list (not in any way due to Richard). These included confusingly and incorrectly titled articles, e.g. there would be a ‘ Part 2 ’ but apparently no ‘Part 1 ’. (This was often due to the original article having a different title). Also many titles need augmenting, e.g. ‘ Two Control Towers’ (which two), Further Airfield Visits ? I have corrected a number of these, but there is still a lot more to be done; many titles offer no hint as to the article’s content. A title can be a multi-page in-depth article, or sometimes just a single fuzzy photograph. In essence each and every magazine needs to be appraised – a time-consuming job, akin to painting the Forth Bridge. Hence this document is still very much work-in-progress. It is hoped that a future version will correct a significant number of these inconsistencies. NB: the ‘regulars’ for the magazine are shown in green.

A concept which seems commonplace now was very revolutionary fifty years ago, and it was the foresight of those who achieved so much which springs from the pages of John King's fascinating narrative. Although a building is the central character, the story rightly involves people because it was they who had to agonise over the decisions which were necessary to achieve anything. They had the vision, but they had to convince others : they had to raise the cash, to generate the publicity, to supervise the work — often in the face of opposition to Gatwick as a commercial airfield.
