Whofan Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 Royal mail will issue a set of stamps featuring British army vehicles on 2nd September this year. I haven't seen any details yet of which vehicles will be featured, but I can foresee some intrepid modellers making a set of the vehicles to accompany the stamps! https://www.allaboutstamps.co.uk/news/royal-mail-stamps-2021/ (I also note there will be a set of stamps for Paul McCartney, issued 28th May, and a set on Rugby issued 19th October. I'm not a philatelist, but I do like to get some of the special issues on subjects that interest me. So yes, I shall be getting these 3 sets
Lummox Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 Be interesting to see what vehicles they feature. For fun I'll guess at: 1) A Mark 1 tank would be an obvious choice 2) A Landy maybe? 3) Perhaps a Centurion? 4) Erm, Universal Carrier?
APA Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 I'm going for Little Willy then the rest will be non combat including a Landrover and possibly a Universal but not a bren carrier. 'ti's the times. Andrew 1

'ti's the times. Andrew I take your point, but I'll guess a Churchill and a Chieftain, the Churchill possibly one of Hobarts funnies. 1

Whofan Posted September 4, 2021 Author Posted September 4, 2021 I’ve now picked up my set of these stamps. Some not very good photos in what’s your latest acquisition in chat.
