Australian Skydiver magazine's SA roots

SA was home to Australian Skydiver magazine for more than 10 years in the 1960s and 70s. Published by Trevor Burns at Port Pirie and later by Steve Swann and Bernie Keenan in Adelaide, the black and white magazine was produced every two months and distributed to jumpers all around Australia. This was before the Australian Parachute Federation became involved in subsidising its production and postage.

The APF's 50th anniversary in 2010 was marked by a special edition of ASM, which included a feature article on the magazine's evolution and production in the early days.
