Indeed the last three numbers of the 1978 series were issued in a record time of three months, and the first issue of the 1979 series followed at a similar one-month interval. In this way half of the leeway has been made up and, as this leader is read, we trust that a somewhat similar interval between this current number and volume 25, No. 1 has brought us even nearer our goal.It is possible that some of our newer readers have made the same mistake as a few readers have done in the past, and in assuming that because Flying Saucer Review is a well-tumed-out publication, it comes from a big publishing house, with plush offices and a full-time staff. We reiterate that this is not the case; that the magazine has been produced for more than 24 years as a labour of love by four successive editors, each working purely on a spare-time, part-time basis, helped over considerable periods by devoted assistants. Indeed there were long periods when the late Waveney Girvan, and your present Editor, were forced to use commuting train journeys for a good deal of their editing. The goal has always been to maintain quality, both in content and in production, and at the same time to maintain the price of the magazine at a reasonable level. For this reason the work of those associated vrith the production of the magazine could well be described as a "labour of love."It will be appreciated, therefore, that such a structure is for ever exposed to the ill winds that buffet it in the industrial field. The first three editors of FSR were relatively lucky in this respect, although Brinsley le Poer Treuch (now the Earl of Clancarty) lost an issue in 1959 through industrial strife in the printing trade, and Waveney Girvan, in his last few weeks, was worried to distraction by the effects of a postal workers' go-slow. Indeed this last upset, combined with the hiatus occasioned by Waveney's sudden and tragic death in October 1964, were the incidents which triggered the slide backwards from our normal schedules. Thereafter, whenever it appeared that the slide had been arrested, new problems arose to tease us, particularly on the printing side.The biggest blow, however, was the disastrous postal strike of 1971; not only were we unable to send the magazine to our readers most of whom had a postal subscription but also there was no way in which we could receive fresh material from our correspondents abroad, or in which the material we did have could easily be transmitted to the printers. That situation lasted several weeks and thousands of small businesses which relied on the post went into the crusher; FSR was fortunate to survive although our subscription list suffered heavily.
