A busy postal hub on the FDC with a 1.70 stamps showing
Boule de Moulins which were floating containers used to carry mail during the Siege of Paris. They were not a success unlike the balloons which were used in the siege which successfully got to their destinations. The 1.20 stamp shows a monoplane, the Caudron Simoun, used in the 1930s as a mail plane by Air Bleu, The address of the Bushbury on the FDC has a tenuous aeronautical link for in the 1920s aircraft factories were established in this area. Who knows Mr Jones might even have worked in one.
