by our esteemed philatelist, Bob Dyer, below are a few historical Vicker's
Vimy stamps from around the world!
NEWFOUNDLAND
STAMP BLOCK
One-dollar stamp
issued by Newfoundland for the 1919 Alcock/Brown mail. $.50 from
each stamp went to the Permanent Marine Disasters Fund.
In 1929, Newfoundland

1919 Alcock-Brown flight. It showed the Vimy over St. John's as
it departed for Ireland.
CANADIAN

the 50th anniversary of the Alcock/Brown flight.
BRITISH STAMPS
In 1969, Great Britain issued
two postage stamps honoring the 1919 flights of the Vimy to Ireland, and
Australia.
RHODESIAN STAMP
In 1978, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe)
issued a set of postage stamps commemorating the 75th anniversary of flight.
The 7¢ value honored the Silver Queen II.
