AVIATION POSTCARD CLUB INTERNATIONAL

NEWSLETTER NO. 52

SEPTEMBER 2005

BACKWARD & FORWARD

Editorial impressions by Doug Bastin

As forecast the paper June issue did not get out until July – even later than expected as, following Royal Mail losing December, June got lost in cyberspace due to a computer fault at the printer end. This issue has no great theme but there is a topical Australian touch to the return of Colin Cohen and elsewhere plus a piece on the interaction of aviation on film and cards, together with the usual features. The main picture is one of the surprisingly few cards issued to promote aviation themed films and is from the 1969 Dixon series of 32 for “The Battle of Britain” showing Merlin engined Hispano Ha1112 Buchon Bf 109 derivatives as used in the film.

For December, I am inviting member contributions on a different theme – namely “where is the hobby going ?”, starting off with a few speculative scenarios from myself in Club News. If the response is good enough I will theme December/New year as a “Whither (Wither ?)  the Postcard” issue.
