dhendley Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 We are working hard to restore the Digital Archive to its former glory. We are pleased to let you know that the last 16 years are now available. Read more here: https://www.modelflying.co.uk/rcme-archive-16-years-available/ As we are building this from scratch, I have no idea how many years were available previously - does anyone know? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrunner Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I don't know how far back the archive went before but please don't stop until you get to the original 1960 issue! You're doing a grand job in restoring this valuable archive🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello. You need to Log in here. You will need your email and new Mortons customer ID, and need to be a digital, or a print and digital subscriber. Your customer ID should have been emailed to you. If not, it’s on the carrier sheets you get through the post with a print subscription. Failing that, give our customer services team a call on 01507 529529 and they will tell you what it is.

Jesus Cardin Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Going as far back as possible -better to the first issue!- should be a great reason for many to subscribe, including me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Until recently subscribers to the printed magazine had access to the digital archive - but now it would appear that one has to be a print AND digital subscriber to access the old archives ( if I read DHendleys posting correctly) Is that correct - it's changed under the new owners?

EarlyBird Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 For me until the RCM&E main site was updated. I used to view using the subscribe/digital archive option. It worked in a limited way but now it works far better, I particularly like being able to select and download pages for future reference. I am sure I will find more nice features as I continue my voyage of discovery. The only downside is I have to subscribe 🤣 and make a choice whether to keep the print subscription or not.

kc Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 As a print subscriber I was able to look at the RCME copies last year. It was one of the advantages of being a subscriber compared to just buying from a newsagent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wihtgar Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I have a digital and print subscription. I've logged in using my customer ID and can see my account. If I go to the RCM&E magazine I just get the option to subscribe, nothing about being able to view the archive. It's as if the system doesn't recognise I have a subscription.

Steven S Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I'm a Canadian digital subscriber and am totally happy with the new digital archive. It got really messed up a couple of years ago, but this latest change has made it better than it ever was. Thank you for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wihtgar Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Thanks for the info EarlyBird but I've been logging in via that link but I can't see how to access the digital archive once logged in. I changed some of my account details but when I logged again the changes had not been saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Once logged in the latest edition is loaded to access the whole archive press the menu icon, top right highlighted in red, and choose archive. which gives this Steve Edited July 16, 2022 by EarlyBird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wihtgar Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Hi EarlyBird, thanks again for the help but there must be something wrong with my account. When I log in I am taken to My Account. If I navigate to RCM&E the system expects me to take out a subscription which My Account shows I already have. I will contact Mortons on Monday to sort it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the question and had to cancel my existing subscription and start up a new print/digitial one. I used to pay quarterly but now have to pay a whole years worth in one go which is a bit annoying. As the subscription starts with the next issue, I still have not got access to the digital archive, I'm told it will be next week. I have to be honest - it is a very disappointing start to my expereince with the new owners. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been a subscriber for many years and a buyer of the magazine for decades before that and suddenly I can't access the digital archive because my subscription is print only!. Luckily I have my own archive in the attic but I'll be giving some thought as to whether its worth renewing my sub when it expires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Clark Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I was told that I might have access on August 4th. It still doesn't work, so I asked again for a definitive date and am now being told that I will have access on August 17th. I agree, it is not very good to have an unreliable promise to restore something that you always had, especially as it is costing me more and I have to pay in a less conveneient way! I might also consider not renewing next year. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old publisher told us that print subscribers only had the archive during covid when post was delayed around the world - how many years did you have access for? The data we received didn't indicate that print-only had digital access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant remember using the digital archive back then, but certainly have had it for many years before Covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
