Stamp Magazine - April 2024

Bu sayıda

In the April issue of Stamp Magazine, we examine the story of Imperial Airways, which was responsible for opening up international airmail services across the British Empire, and especially across Africa, during the interwar period.
We also investigate the unexpected history of postage due stamps issued under military occupation. The British, the French, the Germans, the Italians and the Japanese have all been contributors to this eclectic field.
The latest in our series on Great Britain’s commemoratives in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II features the Lister Centenary set of 1965, while Commonwealth Classics recalls the quirky 1897 Diamond Jubilee semi-postals of New South Wales.
Our news pages assess two special issues from Royal Mail, interesting new stamps from around the world, and the latest highlights from the auction rooms. Meanwhile, our opinion columns discuss whether the Post Office Horizon scandal can now be put to bed, and why the postal history of South Sudan has failed to become a viable 21st century collectable. Don’t miss it!
