New stamps for R.A.F. anniversary.

Advance notice of a new set of stamps from the Isle of Man for the 90th anniversary of the R.A.F. featuring twelve aircraft including the Brisfit, Hurricane, Sunderland, Meteor and Hunter but no Spitfire!:confused: These will be issued in January.

I believe they are ‘legal tender’ on the mainland, but your envelopes are going to look a bit empty as the stamps aren’t released until January!:D

Oops:o All those cards I’ve got with Sunderlands on will have to wait til next year then.

But they’ve put the Sunderland and Hurricane on the same stamp so I’m happy 😉

Does anybody know if you can use these on the mainland or do I have to take my Christmas cards to the Isle of Man this year?

If you want stamps for this years Chrimble, you will have to use this set from Jersey that was issued in September featuring the D.24, Vulcan, B.52 and Concorde.
