My favorite part of the World hands down. I used to go to Petit Saint Vincent frequently and Union Island was the last plane stop before the boat. A very tiny plane on a very small island. A slice of absolute paradise. Good memories.

On Rod's map, off Union Island, is the smaller Palm Island.

This has some stamps under that name in the SG Appendix as does the small group of Tobago Cays.

Palm Island used to be called Prune Island and that name appeared as as a marginal overprint on the Princess Anne wedding stamps of the Grenadines of St Vincent (as did the other names on Rod's list).

Here are my two Prune Island "stamps":

I have similar pairs for Bequia, Canouan, Mayreau, Mustique Island and Union Island.

I guess these are private overprints but I don't remember ever seeing anything about them.

I stayed on Palm several times. It is less than 20 acres as is PSV. Palm is just a resort island.

Wow!
I had to dig deep, deep, deep into my archives for Prune Island et al.
Nice post Nigel, not seen those before.

Lucky be those whom can holiday there.........

Pot pourri from my lot.

Palm Island.

If you want to get deep into the Grenadines of St. Vincent, there are also some prepared but unissued sets from the smaller islands available, like the 1986 Royal Wedding set for Mustique.

Indeed there appears a plethora of issues...daunting,
including this less than flattering issue for Mustique.
