They dont!

Let me put it this way. There is no point in blaming either of the magazines. right now the concern is that the Indian Authorities might have noticed the discovery of the warbird and create problems. AFAIK, if they did, its not because they read any of the magazines above or that they visit the websites carrying the news. So i think its unfair to blame the magazines either Aeroplane or Flypast for carrying the news.

: ..... What if permission is denied ? Will the aircraft be
: destroyed ?

Thats a bit extreme..dont you think?, especially for a country that helped preserved such a large warbird population of several rare vintage types.. I dont think there is a danger of that happening.

While I would say its unfair to blame the mags for any problems that the Indian Authorities might create, its certainly possible that Rival Collectors get into the fray and mess things up after reading the magazine articles. Now is that a possibility?
