Editorial

It always amuses me that the content of each magazine ends up so totally different to what I initially envisaged. At the outset I usually have at least one major article planned, then I get sidetracked and I end up in a complete different direction. The research into the B.S.A.C. datestamp was sparked off by Bill Hallatt who asked my opinion on a cover and as a result, the planned article ended up on the backburner.
