We copy from the Great Britain Philatelic Society (GBPS) website:
The “British Philatelic Bulletin” is an official monthly publication of the Royal Mail aimed at stamp collectors, supplying detailed information about forthcoming British stamp issues, together with a range of articles about earlier issues from philatelists. The first Bulletin was published in September 1963, shortly after the formation of the Philatelic Bureau. The first two volumes were simple newsletters duplicated from typewritten originals on Bureau notepaper, but subsequent editions have been A5 size and professionally produced in full colour.
With permission, an archive of scanned copies of most editions from the beginning in 1963 to end of volume 48 in 2011 is available for download here. (The first couple of volumes are scans of photocopies.)
If you can supply the missing numbers – or indeed improved copies of those we have – please contact the website manager. Especial thanks to David Watson for supplying the bulk of these as PDFs.

The oldest philatelic magazine in the world, still alive, is the American Philatelist. Its first issue was released in January 1887. A few months later, in November, the second oldest surviving to date, L’Écho de la timbrologie was introduced to the philatelic public.
A surprising third is the Schweizer Briefmarken Zeitung (SBZ), the official magazine of the Swiss Philatelic Federation, which was first issued in 1888! For the last twenty years or so the SBZ lies in the experienced hands of its Editor-in-chief, Hans Schwartz AEP, AIJP, who is currently also the FEPA Treasurer.
In order to get acquainted with SBZ, go to https://www.vsphv.ch/schweizer-briefmarken-zeitung. You will find there the Table of Contents and a sample article of almost each number as far back as 2014.
