Hi All
I am collecting Fleetwoods and am trying to find out how many Countries were in a complete set that they issued for remembering Princess Diana in 1997 after her death. I have a total of 59 countries so far but I am finding it very hard to find this information.

I am from England and Fleetwoods are not well covered here and my own stamp forum have not produced any information

Can anyone help?

The countries I have are as follows:
Aitutki, Angola, Antigua, Ascension Isl, Belize, Bermuda, BAT BIOT, BVI, Burkino Faso, Cayman Isl, CAR, Cook Isl, Dominica
Falkland Isl, Fiji, Gambia, Ghana, Gibraltar, GB, Grenada Grenada Grenadines, Guyana, Honduras, IOM, Jamaica, Kiribati
Lesotho, Liberia, Maldives, Marshall Isl, Micronesia, Mongolia Montserrat, Namibia, Nevis, Niger, Niue, Palau, Penryhn
Pitcairn Isl, Samoa, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Solomon Isl
Sth Georgia, St Helena, St Kitts, St Lucia, St Vincent, Tanzania Togo, Tokelau, Tristan Da Cunha, Turkmenistan, Turks & Caicos
Tuvalu, Uganda, Vanuatu


Regards Julian

The ATA should have a complete list. ATA is the American Topical Association. http://americantopicalassn.org

Julian, I forgot to welcome you to this forum. And I just checked - the ATA has a checklist on the Princess and it lists 646 stamps!

Hi Peter, Thanks for taking the time to reply but its not the stamps I am after.

My quest id to find out how many countries Fleetwoods covered in a set.
For instancem The Postal Commemoration Society set on the same subject was
103 countries with 107 FDC's.
So far in the Fleetwood collection I have 59 countries and I am not sure whether
this is the total, although I think it must be close. An American Auction site
was selling a lot in March and it only had 55 which is not a set as I have 59?

It does not matter if I cannot find the answer I shall just keep on trolling
ebay but I was hoping joining an American Forum someone would know the answer.

I shall keep hoping some sole has a set and knows the answer, I might even
email this site you have mentioned.

Thanks mate.

Julian

I have asked Mystic for an answer to your question. I am awaiting their response. You may want to ask too. I will report back.

Hi redwoodrandy, that was the first place I went to, in learning they took Fleetwoods over.
They responded that they did not keep archive information of previous Fleetwood collections, which I found amazing.
Surely you would need to know their business previous but hey maybe its because I am a Brit, PLEASE GIVE RANDY the answer??????

I have sent numerous emails out and they are all coming back with no help or ideas a couple have been referred but even sellers of Fleetwoods are coming back with no help.

I have a few oustanding emails but I think I will have to join the ATA when I have some spare cash as the forums do not seem to be of help either.
Shame but there you go I am not really a stamp collector as such. The theme I collect however will be better served by the ATA.
Thanks all for helping anyway.
