WINTER 1997

Page 1 contained the editorial which was the first one by the new Editor. This was followed by an article suggesting titles for future articles.

Then followed our Chairman's Report and a translated article about the London Blues which was published in a magazine similar to ATTENTION! of the MOTO LEATHER CLUB of Veneto.

A cheerful pic followed of Tom Fernandez, Amanda Evans and Cira Booth who work within the Nebuliser Unit at the Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead, London as we had given a large donation to them.

An interesting letter from D Stanley of Shepton Mallet was reproduced talking about the 'old days' when gays did not seem to have a problem in the Services as a policy of "Don't bother us and we won't bother you" abounded then.

CAPTION CORNER followed asking for suggestions for the pic.

Page 7 had a short article by Tony on a book called Courtesans and Fishcakes.

Also was an article on a 90's version of a World War 11 photo by gays in New York.

After an interesting recipe for Sticky Malt Loaf came some pictures of one of the guides onboard HMS Warrior at Portsmouth which had been visited by members.

This quarter's CENTRE SPREAD featured the ARMY.

Page 12 had some pix taken by Bob Freese.

After many comments concerning the rather famous calendar of Firefighters for 1998 we reproduced a page of the dishy guys (who are real Firemen) to whet everybodies appetites!!!

Phil wrote a very intersting article on his and Neville's vacation in New York called AWOL in America making us wish we could all take off on the next plane.

A new feature for the back page of "And Finally" nearly closed the magazine using a blast from the past pic.

On the back cover was our usual advert for the London Blues with two cammo pix.
