Hi Rod

My favourite airliner of all time is the Lockheed Constellation (aka Princess of the skies).

And those lettercards and wrappers, love them. The intro page you displayed, is that from Seven Seas, I have seen the new edition (2017) and am thinking about adding it to my little library.

Where did you find the photo of the children on the stamp?

Join the queue !

In my opinion, one of the best shapes, ever made.
Joins the Viking Long Boat, and the Coca Cola Bottle for my all time favourites.

I liked the Constellation that much, I made my own Air Mail Etiquettes
(Only 60 ever made) sent all over the world.



Yep! Seven Seas, A "must" for your Australian Library, a host of subsidiary gossip on Aussie stamps.
Stamp clubs often sell out of date editions for a song. Good Luck

Example : NSW

Note: The Editions I have are all "Glued Spine", so if you use them often, you shall end up with a cover of loose pages.
(Which is OK for scanning)

When Prince Harry visited Sydney in 2015, one of the entertainment was to be a passenger in a Constellation flying over Sydney, unfortunately the military airfield was too far away; the passenger terminal which was closer was to busy with major flights.

But I did take a video of the plane flying overhead.

I know a local dealer who recently bought five 2017 Seven Seas issues for his stock and I had a look at the contents, the only problem it doesn't mention many varieties and no specimens, Also not far away is a Seven Seas distributor, might try him first.

But apart from that it is in colour and has a lot of information about pre-decimal stamps and decimal stamps, and I will probably buy one.
