I would say the current Bulletin has a decent amount of technical articles and some history too but like you I do get frustrated by the pages of photos with no text, (there's 5 pages in this edition) I live (and I know that's my own fault) 5 hours drive from the nearest BVWS auction so it's a bit like ... look what you could've won! of course if there was more content provided they'd be lees need to fill it out.

The BVWS Bulletin is certainly a high quality publication and Raiophile is 'less glossy', personally I'd like to see a combination of both mainly because I can't justify subscribing to both. Other than Golbourne which is still 3 hours away there's no benefit to being part of a society it's just about magazine subscription.
