I tried to order mine yesterday by using the code In this months Practical Classics.I could not book the tickets on the Internet site as It would not accept the code-EMA,so I tried to phone the ticket office and waited so long on someone to answer(which they never did)that I spent more on the phone call than I would have saved by using the code.Ended up paying full whack!

I too received mine this morning. A superb all colour edition, well worth the wait. I even counted three part pics of my Rover at the National. One howler appeared though on page twelve and thirteen, the picture is back to front. All the car registrations are round the wrong way. Oh dear, Oh dear!!! There is a lovely pic of the ex-RAF saloon next to an English Electric Canberra. Great to see this aircraft again, reminding me of the world height record it held. I wonder where that pic was taken? The other week I was fortunate to see one in flight. It passed over where I live going out to sea.It then turned over Portland Bill and came back again climbing rapidly on course for Farnborough probably. The other howler that hits you in the eye is 'CURB WEIGHT' instead of 'KERB WEIGHT'. Just a final reminder tomorrow's edition of Classic Car Weekly has a shootout between the Rover P5B and the Daimler V250 saloon, should be interesting reading. Maybe I should modify the title to Shoot the Proof Reader.

Mine arrived today and I have read the CCW edition this lunch-time. The P5B won but lost on illogical strett cred - image problem still

The pictures of the RAF P5b were taken at RAF Wyton, Cambridgeshire - the canberra is their gate guard.
Thanks for the interest - are there any more RAF P5's out there?

Thanks for the info Dave. I must admit I hadn't heard of that base before. RAF Bassingbourne was a bomber base I new about and in the mid to late fifties there were a lot of Canberra's stationed there. I managed to go over one of them and had to crawl on my belly to get to the bomb aimers post up in the nose of the aircraft. You couldn't get up to the sitting position but throughout any flight you remained on your belly. It was a most uncomfortable position to be in for any length of time.

Talk about shoot the proof reader - "RAF Bassingbourne was a bomber base I new about and in the " - knew is the correct spelling!! Great new look to Take 5 Magazine, and I ordered my tickets for the NEC straight away. Thanks to the club for the huge saving on ticket prices for the Classic Cars Show - and don't forget to hand in the ticket stubs to the club stand to help raise more money for the club - they deserve it! Thanks

A great magazine this month,really well done.I'm always amazed that no matter how good something has been done,someone always manages to find fault with It!I suppose some people expect everything In life to be at concourse level.

In our editors defence, much of the copy was supplied as electronic copy and like many, he uses Spell Check to check spelling, not grammar. Sometimes these things happen. By the way, the picture on page 13/14 was intentional as the award 'box' would have covered the cars in the foreground. It is almost impossible to put a digital photograph in the wrong way round unintentionally. Please give me some credit!

Well it just goes to show that you cannot slip things in as there are a number of eagle eyed members out there! Let this be a warning - perhaps you should try something more subtle in the next issue
I did not spot obviously being overwhelmed by the exceptional quality and layout of the pictures and text on the highly glossy paper
Well done

Thanks Phil. How's this for subtlety. How many here know that for a good many years the cover of each issue of Take Five hides the club logo, somewhere on the page.

An interesting reply Dave on the reason for the photo being the wrong way round. It's a shame that the Electronic check can't pick up those type of errors especially when that one sticks out a mile. Nothing can take away the superb production of the magazine and all in colour too. So well done!!

Yep, I knew about the hidden logo after reading some old issues, I found one on a cover but struggled with the others. PS. I'm Crap at "Where's Wally" too
