Vulcan bomber lands on postage stamp.
30 metres of Vulcan Bomber has landed on a postage stamp. The feat was achieved by volunteers from the tiny post office at Bletchley Park. They put XH 558 the last example of this iconic aircraft still flying on a sheet of 10 rather special stamps. Only 300 sheets will be issued which could very quickly be worth three or four times the ÂŁ50 issue price.
Like the Vulcan, Bletchley Park faces funding crises on a regular basis. The limited edition stamps and envelopes issued from its once secret wartime post office do a lot to help. So a nice touch that two such important parts of Britain’s military heritage can help each other.
For more information drop a line to Bletchley Park Post Office, The Mansion, Bletchley Park, MK3 6EB or visit the web site at bletchleycovers.com.
