Hope you enjoy seeing this one. It is one of a set of three issued in 2011 to commemorate 100 year of aviation in Malaysia. It is reported and documented to show an Antoinette VII monoplane in which the countries first flight was flown by pilot G P Fuller.

What makes this stamp sort of interesting is that what I wrote above is all wrong. The actual plane on the stamp is a Bleriot XI and the pilot was a Dutchman, Giisbertus Peter Kuller. GP Fuller was an Englishman I believe. Sometimes the news reported is wrong. Well I never would have thought that!!

Enjoy your philately and aviation Michael

Here is a rather interesting stamp. Good to see some design in this issue Issuedin 1961 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee (50th Anniversary) of Air Lingus. It shows a de Haviland DH.84 Dragon Mk 2 and a Boeing 720.

The Dragon is to remember the first flight on 27 May 1936, five days after being registered as an airline. Air Lingus operated between Dublin and Bristol in the UK using a six-seater DH.84 Dragon biplane with the registration EI-ABI. The aircraft was named Iolar (Eagle).

The Boeing 720 is to remember the airline getting its first jet aircraft in December 1960. These were used on the New York and Boston services.

Interesting history over the years and now of course it is part of the IAG group with British Airways and Iberia, but that is another story, away from philately!

I was randomly looking for an A350 on a stamp image when I came across this MS. Surely an illegal printing I would think? Look carefully. Perhaps the bottom right stamp makes it a must have thematic collectible, are the people producing these dumb. They probably have a sheet the same for the 787! Michael

Will be on one of these (A350 that is) to London in a few days.
Enjoy your aerophilatelics Michael

This 1.30 euros stamp of private courier Post Modern (Dresden, Germany) depicts the Junkers F 13 aircraft.

From Wikipedia, "The Junkers F 13 was a the world's first all-metal transport, developed in Germany at the end of World War I. It was an advanced, cantilever-wing monoplane, with enclosed accommodation for four passengers. Only 322 were manufactured. It was in production for thirteen years and in commercial service for almost twenty."

Brilliant first England - Australia MS Thanks for sharing.

Here is one I like. Very tiny image of the plane, frequently overlooked as aviation thematic

Anyone know the aircraft? One I do not know.
