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 £50 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.
