I really enjoy reading and collecting 'foreign' aviation magazines. There are some excellent ones out there; 'Aero' from Poland, the famous 'Revi' from Czechoslovakia, 'Jet & Prop' and 'Flugzeug Classic' from Germany, not forgetting the French 'Aérojournal' and 'Le Fana de l'Aviation' or even the American ' Flight Journal'. One of my favourites though is the bi-monthly 'Avions' (Aeroplanes) from France, which was originally published in Boulogne sur Mer but has now moved to south to Le Vigen. I know the editor Michel Ledet and his partner quite well and have worked on a number of their book titles, translating captions and so on. Issue No. 180 of 'Avions' has just been published;
- Macchi M.5, the seaplane fighter aircraft of the Italian Navy during World War I (final part). by Paolo Varriale (excellent reference for the Fly models kit, if you don't have the Windsock publication)
