EDITORIAL Thanks to everyone who have renewed their 2013 MAR and @MAR subscriptions so quickly - I think the first renewal arrived about ten minutes after I sent an email to the Yahoo MAR Group advising members that the Septembr PDF issue was available to download from the MAR web site! For those members who take the paper magazine, just a reminder that the subscription also comes with a free PDF version (basically the same magazine with extra photo pages each month), if you have an internet connection and would like to receive the free PDF then please contact me at [email protected] and let me know your email address that you would like to use to get it with. We do have readers who only take the paper version and then buy the CD version at the end of the year for an extra £7 - this seems a bit strange, unless they have a PC but no internet connection, when they can get it free with their subscription. If you are on of these readers please contact me as above and save yourself some money! Another full 64 page magazine this month with varied reports from around the UK, Europe and the USA - with the European show season now at an end can I make a plea to any of you who are travelling further afield during the winter months to send in your reports please! I know a lot of you are in the USA at the moment or are going in the near future and Moray would like to hear from you, no matter how small the report may be. Also, photos for MAR are always welcome and should be JPEGs with a minimum size of 15x10cm at 300 dpi!

538 BRITISH REVIEW It has been confirmed that the United States Marine Corps will not be operating the former RAF Harrier GR.7A/9/9A/T. 12’s. As is already known that out of the 72 Harrier delivered to the USMC, there are 58 fuselages laying in the desert at Davis Monthan Air Force Base. The remaining 14 were thought to be on rebuild at Cherry Point, North Carolina, USA. This is not the case; they are being broken down for spares and produce. The planned merger between BAE Systems and EADS collapsed on 10.10 due to the United Kingdom, French and German Govern- ments failing to overcome political objections. The £28bn merger would have meant that the Germans and French would have controlled where investment would go to in the future. Would that have been the best outcome for the United Kingdom, time will tell. The Grob Tutors are finally returning to flying status after the emergency landing of G-BYUB/UB on 23.08. The aircraft are being returned on an airframe-by-airframe basis once the bolts and grub screws retaining the propeller counterweight have been replaced......
