EDITORIAL
Thanks to the first of a nice crop of air show reports we have a full 64 page magazine this month, with a number of pages having to be held over to the July issue. We have also received an excellent selection of photos to include in the magazine and this has resulted in a bumper number of extra photo pages in the PDF version. The problem is trying to decide which 4 will be seen on the covers of the paper version of MAR! Remember, if you subscribe to the paper version of MAR then you are also entitled to download the PDF version free!
If you want to send in photos for possible publication can you please send them as JPEGs to me at [email protected] - the preferred size for the JPEG is 24 x16cm at 300dpi (or larger). If you wish to send prints or slides in for consideration these should be sent to Brian Pickering at the editorial address above.
As ever, if you would like to see a free copy of @MAR (our other well illustrated PDF magazine - only available via the internet) then please send an email requesting a copy to [email protected]. The subscription for @MAR for 2014 is £20 and you can subscribe at www.mar.co.uk
COVER PHOTOGRAPH: USMC MV-22B 168300/EH-00 of VMM-264 with a special fin scheme at the Cherry Point Air Show on May 17th (Andrew Surry)
Closing date for the July issue is 08.07.14 Brian Pickering 13.06.14
286 BRITISH REVIEW As we go to press, the first three of No.6 Squadron Typhoons have transferred on 10th June 2014 from Leuchars to their new base, Lossiemouth. No.6 Squadron have moved into newly refurbished Hangar 1 which was previously used by No.12 Squadron. No.1 Squadron will be based in hangar 3 when they make their move during August/September 2014. With the good weather and the Air Show season upon us, could people please send me a log of what they see no matter how small the log is. It all comes together to make the bigger picture for us all to see, my email address is on the opposite page. ...Mick Boulanger (Military movements is history, now and for our future)
