This means that the back log of Foreign Forces reports and the Credits will finally appear in this issue - my apologies for the delay in printing these reports. As I mentioned last month, the 2013 Subscription Renewal Forms will be sent out with the September issue of MAR - we will be maintaining the MAR PDF and @MAR rates for 2013 at £20 each and the MAR paper magazine rate for the UK for 2013 will be kept at £40. However, the European rates and for Elsewhere in the World will be increased (see next month for the final new rates) due to the ridiculous increases imposed by Royal Mail this April - the UK increases were bad enough but it now costs £20 more to mail a magazine to Europe than to the UK and £35 more to the rest of the World (and that is only up until next April, when they will, no doubt, increase their rates again!). With this in mind we strongly recommend our overseas readers to change to the PDF version of MAR at £20 - many of our overseas readers have already done so! If you would like to receive a sample PDF of this August issue of MAR to compare the two please email me at “[email protected]” and I will email you a copy. Not only is it considerably cheaper to change to the PDF version but you have other advantages such as a larger picture selection each month, earlier delivery and the PDF version is searchable so you can tie up missing registrations/call signs a lot quicker. COVER PHOTOGRAPH: New 1 Sqn Typhoon FGR4 ZK326/FB photographed flying a low level training sortie over the Scottish Borders area in early August (Andy Sheppard) Closing date for the September issue is 08.09.12 Brian Pickering 15.08.12 418 BRITISH REVIEW It was announced at Farnborough on 09th July that Lockheed Martin has signed an agreement authorizing Marshall Aero- space to become the world’s first commercial company to install C-130 Centre Wing Boxes.

They also have an ambassadorial role, promoting an air force and country overseas. Many covered in this supplement display overseas each year and, in some cases, frequently undertake international tours. Teams are also used to promote a country’s aerospace industry, playing informal roles in sales campaigns.
