Just got back from our stamp club bourse - which seemed a great success, thankyou.
Picked up a few nice things, but HAD to show you all this little number.
Found in a box full of souvenir sheets. Appears to be a sheet or large airmail stamp from Ajman showing a funeral of three 'Soviet Heros'.
Don't know the origins of this one. I recall as a kid during the early '70s a Soviet space craft returned to earth and all the cosmonauts died because the cabin depressurized, and there being a huge state funeral where they layed in state. This reminds me of that picture I must have seen in Time or some other magazine.
At any rate it was wierd enough I just had to have it.
