Rather dull edition, this. After reading the Peter Cushing article, I thought "Yes, well? Is that it?", nothing that struck my mind as being Fortean, other than being in Hammer films (which had been covered by an earlier mag), so there was nothing new to add. It was just a plug for the book, really.

Let's hope the next issue is more interesting! (And I'd been looking forward to issue 300 being a special issue, but that was rather run of the mill as well.)

I'm also "Why so much about Peter Cushing?"

The Sikorski Mystery - what's so mysterious about it? The big rock of Gibraltar makes flying very difficult, it makes for odd cross winds. To this day Sleazy Jet will only use ex-RAF pilots to do the Gib route, after one nearly crashed. Not much of a guess.

But it was the phonecall BEFORE the crash that made the story otherwise it would certainly be a tired overworked pilot on a difficult runway.
far to much Peter cushing imo, this issue has been the weakest i can remember, i still have the last few pages to go so hopefully it picks up

I thought the same - lots of old news and samey pieces- things are really tight right now and I think I'll be giving the mag a miss in future.

I wouldn't give the mag a miss - any issue missed would be the most brilliant issue ever published and talked about for years...

I could buy a month's worth of eggs from Aldi with the money, and honestly the summer edition of Northern Earth magazine is actually way more interesting and much cheaper!

One thing that bothered me about this issue: in the Fortean Traveller article there's a mention that his guides took a photo of the mysterious elephants...but the picture wasn't included in the article! Why on earth not? It would have been great for the article so it was such a shame it didn't feature.

I always leave the Fortean Traveller until last. I keep thinking "They put in this dullness and leave out Heirophant?"

I found the Cushing article to be most pathetic. It gave additional flesh to my conception of the man. He appeared to have been a true gentleman and a gentle man.
The rest of the Whitstable stuff was rather poor.
