Transporting people, post and products in past times are -
 |
| 2003: Philexjeunes Stamp Exhibition - Utility Vehicles (Design Francois Bruere) |
A 1932 Renault coach stopped by what looks like a mountain lake and a remarkably clean coal delivery vehicle
 |
| 1978: Day of the Stamp (Design J Krall) |
A rather quaint post-bus of 1913.
 |
| 2020: Mail Ships (Design Andrew Robinson) |
Taking to the water here is a three masted steamer, the Ariadne built in 1823. I thought at first the funnel was a lighthouse, then I saw the smoke coming out of it...
This time I can tell the difference. The 'Antelope' steaming past a harbour light. This was the first of three ships built for the Great Western Railway when they started the Weymouth-Channel Islands service. Her maiden voyage was on 3rd August 1889
Sunday Stamps II theme this week is - Transportation - travel to See It On A Postcard

What a wonderful selection ... they've all got that romantic, vintage travel air about them! Any news of our Sunday Stamps host?
Atmospheric stamps. I like them.
No Debs I'm hoping its just technical problems.
yep. technical issues are not my forte!
I have a great love of these old 1930s coaches/buses.
