I get the digital edition which is a pdf. No problems with that, just received the October (!) 2023 copy late last week.
No sign of the replacement August copy yet, but I have just received the hard copy of the October issue in today’s post. Of course, that now begs the question of what has happened to the /September/ issue. *sigh* here we go again! 🙂
And in the body of NASA’s blog post they refer to it as “the quiet period”, as if it was chilling out.
Do you suppose anyone has suggested switching it off and on again?
The bottom of my address label shows ‘UNITED KINGDOM 385-01 (*1 of 5)’ which remains the same month-to-month and may indicate that it is part of a batch of 5 copies sent to the UK and packaged by The Mail Group in Sunbury-on-Thames. How does that compare to your label, Chris?

The numbers at the bottom of mine read “United Kingdom 328-44 (*1 of 1)”. Looking at a couple of the envelopes I have here, it does remain consistent. There is also a reference to The Mail Group, Transglobal, Unit D1 – Windmill Road TW16 7HE near the top of the label, but it doesn’t mention Sunbury-on-Thames.
I cannot speak for S&T, but my experience is that the worldwide postal services have never really recovered from the COVID disruptions. Until a year ago, when I was living in Australia, the BAA Journal took at least 2 months, and Christmas cards were still arriving in April.
That sounds about par for the course in the southern hemisphere. When a friend of mine moved back to South Africa, Christmas and birthday cards always arrived long after the relevant date. It would have been quicker to tie them to a passing swallow.
