Mine arrived here on South Uist a couple of days ago together with
something from the new owners.
Myself, I would prefer it to come out only once a month, A4 size, decent
thickness of paper and that which is now MEW be incorporated in the one
magazine. Cover price say £3.25.
Given that in the Britain of today an "Engineer" is a thing of the past, present company excepted, the "Model Engineer magazine" faces an uncertain future. Well I think so.
On the couple or so bookshelves on this island magazines such as "Old Glory" and some others about old tractors and old lorries seem to appeal to both the older and young generations A number of those here are actively engaged in restoration projects. They come to myself, now aged 70+, to get things made, rebuilt or modified. Things they cannot do themselves.
Young people today have no direct access to the "Model Engineer", "MEW" or "Engineering in Miniature". None of these appear on the bookshelves. Where else are they to find information on what is available, what they might need and how to do seemingly impossible tasks with limited resources.
Is a New title needed.
Enough said, any ideas?
