Digging through some old magazines being cleared out of our clubrooms, I chanced upon this gem.
The editorial, by Cyril Freezer, starts:
We should like to begin this coronation issue by voicing the wish we feel sure is in the hearts of all our readers; that the reign of our Gracious Queen, Elizabeth, will be long, peaceful and prosperous. Much has been said of late concerning the new Elizabethan age. We are of the opinion that its glories will come from the efforts of the new Elizabethans. Let us, in our modelling, strike out into unexplored territories and discover ourselves the joy of true craftsmanship.
The piece ends with suggestions that modellers during the previous coronation had decorated their layouts.
I wonder if a similar cover will appear when Charles ascends to the throne?
