Hi Phil....
It's not in my 08 Scott.....could very well be an illegitimate issue. |

I could not find it either. I check both current and several older Scott's and a few older albums but no luck |

Phil - I talked to the APS and I'm still on the list for a Guat circuit. I'm waaaaaay down the list, but on there. It's been nearly a year. Amazing! |

Phil.....
If Scott removed it from their listings it is more than likely a questionable item.........not a legitimate issue. |

The reason for the 1937 date on the stamp is because it commemorates the first Marignane (France) - Douala (Cameroun) airmail flight in 1937. |
