This was to be the last Meccano issue published by the orriginal publisher. From the Editor: "Following my announcement in last month's issue about the end of the present Meccano Magazine, I have received so many letters from readers expressing their sadness about the news, that it will be quite impossible to reply to every one individually. I would therefore, like to take this opportunity of thanking all those who wrote to me and I would also draw their attention to the announcement on page 17 of this issue. My own views about the closure were set out last month, and as this is the last MM I have devoted quite a lot of space to a 'look-back' at the early years of the magazine and the people associated with it. For older readers it will be a reunion with names from the past and for the youngsters, an introduction to the origins and originators of Meccano and its magazine."
