According to their web site, a September issue is on sale.

I ordered some back issues a year or so ago, payment by credit card, and it took about 2 months to receive those. It is a great magazine, but I have given up on them.

I just received the September issue:D

In this issue there is a announcement;

Wise Owl Worldwide Publications,

Model Activity Press Ltd has used this USA-based Subscriptions Agent for many years. Regrettably, in recent times, their service has deteriorated and we have received many complaints from our US subscribers and would-be subscribers concerning their service. We no longer accept subscriptions to any of our magazines through Wise Owl and we advise all, not to deal with them, as this may lead to loss of payments made to them.

US contact is now:

Model Activity Press Ltd,
2221 Niagra Falls Boulevard,
Niagra Falls, NY 14304-5709

Wow! I had just been looking at the Wise Owl site yesterday and considering ordering FSM through them! Good thing I held off!

BTW, now that Hannan's Runway is edging out of business (owner retiring) and with Wise Owl in a disreputable state, where's the best place to order the Windsock Datafiles?

RE: flying scale models
 

I usually order directly from [link=http://www.windsockdatafilespecials.co.uk/index2.html]Albatros Productions Ltd.[/link]

That works!

But since Albatros is located in the UK shipping may be more than from a US distributor.

In the U.S. you can order Windsock Datafiles through Byrd Aviation Books. They are located in Williamsburg, VA
Here's their web site:

The latest Flying Scale Models is in the newsagents in England. This issue contains several articles on the Chilton DW1 etc. So definitely available, maybe the problem is with Wise Owl.
