I meant to share this before Xmas but didn't get around to it I'm afraid. I picked up my copy in Sainsburys, but it is available from the publishers:
https://shop.keypublishing.com/product/ ... ode/SPECCW;
I've not read much of it yet, but what I have was very interesting and informative - a potted guide to the Cold War if you like. I know I should know all this as I've been a member of this SIG for ages, but I'm no expert so this magazine is a good find for me, especially as it has 100+ pages for only £5.99
There are articles (and loads of pictures) on:
Clash of the Titans - setting the scene for the Cold War - includes nice pics of the Cold War Hall at Cosford museum
Arabian Lightnings (Royal Saudi Airforce use of the F.53)
Triple Zilch (North American F.100 Super Sabre)
Honing The Elite - RAF's Central Fighter Establishment
MiG 25 Foxbat
The Cuban Crisis (spying and recon aircraft types)
Korean Cat - Grumman F-9F Panther
Without Equal - the SR-71
The Fouth V-Bomber - the Short Sperrin
plus others: EB-66 SkyKnight, F-2H Banshee, F-5 Freedom Fighters, Tigers Fear No Man - 74 Squadron
and other stuff.
Extremely good value for money IMHO - get yourself a copy now.
Cheers
Al.

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

I agree with beany - it's not a bad read

Just spotted something interesting; can anyone see the difference between my copy (below) and the publishers picture I shared above (shouldn't be too difficult, it has been discuss ad nauseum elsewhere!!)?

The same mistake Airfix made on their box art
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.
